I'm not sure what you're referring to.  You didn't say what foo is.

I believe that in all versions of C, the result of a comma operator has
the type and value of its right operand, and the type of an unprefixed
character constant is int.

Can you show a complete example where `sizeof (foo, 'C')` yields
sizeof (int) in any version of GNUC?
