Is this a compiler behavior change against previous versions?
I tried to find some clue from gcc-12 doc but got nothing. Can you point me to any material?

Change 'while(){}' to 'do{}while()' can be a simpler solution. What do you think?
Thanks.

Thanks Ruifeng for the code review and feedback. Please find my response inline.

Apologies for the wrong wordings in the comment. In the comment I mean, it seems like
point at which sizeof gets evaluated during compilation has changed. I am not sure on it though.
I too could not find documentation regarding the same.

I agree, solution suggested by you is better than the one in patch. I will make the suggested
changes as part of v2. Thanks.
