The checker `alpha.core.SizeofPtr` was a very simple checker that did not rely
on path sensitive analysis and was very similar to the (more complex and
refined) clang-tidy check `bugprone-sizeof-expression`.
As there is no reason to maintain two separate implementations for the same
goal (and clang-tidy is more lightweight and accessible than the Analyzer) I
decided to move this functionality from the Static Analyzer to clang-tidy.
Recently my commit 546c816a529835a4cf89deecff957ea336a94fa2 reimplemented the
advantageous parts of `alpha.core.SizeofPtr` within clang-tidy; now this commit
finishes the transfer by deleting `alpha.core.SizeofPtr`.

Subject: [PATCH] [analyzer] Finish moving alpha.core.SizeofPtr to clang-tidy
The checker `alpha.core.SizeofPtr` was a very simple checker that did
not rely on path sensitive analysis and was very similar to the (more
complex and refined) clang-tidy check `bugprone-sizeof-expression`.
As there is no reason to maintain two separate implementations for the
same goal (and clang-tidy is more lightweight and accessible than the
Analyzer) I decided to move this functionality from the Static Analyzer
to clang-tidy.
Recently my commit 546c816a529835a4cf89deecff957ea336a94fa2
reimplemented the advantageous parts of `alpha.core.SizeofPtr` within
clang-tidy; now this commit finishes the transfer by deleting
`alpha.core.SizeofPtr`.
