It is not spelt out, but implied from the context.

Clearly, the standard conversions are only a meaningful concept for expressions.

"int()" is not an expression, but a type-id for a function pointer "int(*)()"

so "sizeof(int())" == "size of ptr to function"

unary-expression :
   ...
   sizeof unary-expression
   sizeof ( type-id )
