Can someone help me out?


Thanks in advance.
Try this -

Code:
int main()
{
     struct whatever w;
     char s;

      if( (char*)&w > & z)
        printf("Size of whatever %d\n",(char*)&w-&z)
      else
        printf("Size of whatever %d\n",(char*)&w-&z)
}

NAME
allocrdsrec - allocates memory for a rectangle ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr SYNOPSYS
#include"rdsnnn.h" rdsrec_list *allocrdsrec( Size ) unsigned int Size; PARAMETER
Size Size of the added structure to the rdsrec_list structure. DESCRIPTION
Allocates a memory block for rdsrec_list structure and an added structure defined by the user. Fields contained in the two structures are set to NULL for pointers and 0L for numbers. NOTE: Allocation by heap ( see rdsalloc function ). RETURN VALUE
The pointer to the rectangle structure allocated. ERRORS
"Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !" it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired. EXAMPLE
# include "mutnnn.h" # include "rdsnnn.h" # include "rtlnnn.h" /* Name and fields of UserStruct are defined by the user */ typedef struct UserStruct { char *STRING; void *USER1; } UserStruct; # define POINTER_STRING(R) (((UserStruct *)((char *)(R)+sizeof(rdsrec_list)))->STRING ) # define POINTER_USER1(R) (((UserStruct *)((char *)(R)+sizeof(rdsrec_list)))->USER1 ) main() { rdsfig_list *Figure; rdsrec_list *Rectangle; mbkenv(); rdsenv(); loadrdsparam(); Rectangle = allocrdsrec ( sizeof ( UserStruct ) ); Rectangle->X = 20; Rectangle->Y = 20; Rectangle->DX = 48; Rectangle->DY = 8; POINTER_STRING (Rectangle) = (char *) malloc (strlen ("Alu1")+1); strcpy(POINTER_STRING(Rectangle),"Alu1"); POINTER_USER1 (Rectangle) = (void *) Figure; ... } SEE ALSO
