No.  If you change the type of something, you still have to examine the
code that uses it.

If this is meant to be an argument against the recommended malloc idiom
(using an expression rather than a type name as the operand of sizeof),
I don't see how it applies.  I think you're making a strawman argument.
Again, nobody has claimed that using `sizeof *p` is a panacea.

The advantages of writing, for example,
    p = malloc(N * sizeof *p);
rather than
    p = malloc(N * sizeof (type_that_p_points_to));
are that (a) when you read that line, you can see that it
correctly allocates an array of N elements without having to look
up the definition of p (and possibly count the "*"s if it's a
pointer-to-pointer), and (b) *that line* remains correct if the
type of p changes during later maintenance.

I actually consider the first point to be more important, but
opinion can differ on that.

You've argued for some alleged advantages of using the type name.
I found those arguments unconvincing and insufficient to override
the advantages of using an expression.
