which is terminated by a null byte by convention.
To clarify, from ISO C99 Sect 7.1.1, a string is a "contiguous sequence of characters terminated by and including the first null character".
Quote:
your two calls to sizeof will always return 4 (size of a pointer).
This is only true if you are on a platform whose programming model is such that a pointer is 32 bits. One such common programming model is ILP32 (Microsoft Windows, 32-bit Linux) where the size of an integer, long and pointer are all 32 bits. Another common programming model is LP64 (64-bit Linux) where the size of an integer is 32 bits but the size of a long and a pointer is 64 bits.

we know that sizeof never returns zero when used with structure
then why in this case it is returning zero
struct foo
{
char c;
};
void main()
{
struct foo f;
cout<<sizeof(f);
}

Hi,
char *s="yamaha";
cout<<s<<endl;
int *p;
int i=10;
p=&i;
cout<<p<<endl;
1) For the 1st "cout" we will get "yamaha" as output. That is we are getting "content of the address" for cout<<s.
2) But for integer "cout<<p" we are getting the "address only".
Please clarify how we are... (2 Replies)

Hello,
I'm trying to write a method which will return the extension of a file given the file's name, e.g. test.txt should return txt. I'm using C so am limited to char pointers and arrays. Here is the code as I have it:

If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it:
(1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like:
int my_malloc(int size, char **pmem)
{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)

Hi All,
is it possible to find out the size of an array of structures ( without using 'sizeof' operator). The condition is we have the array of structure instant but we are not aware of the elements inside the structure.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance. (18 Replies)

Hi,
There are some bewildering sizeof() questions I have in my mind. Could anyone shed some light on this?
int main() {
printf("%d\n", sizeof(main)); // Ans: 1
}
That is, the sizeof() a function identifier though it is treated internally as a pointer gives 1 byte always, why?

Detailed Description
Part of RTTI.
The type_info class describes type information generated by an implementation.
Definition at line 91 of file typeinfo.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
virtual std::type_info::~type_info () [virtual]
Destructor first. Being the first non-inline virtual function, this controls in which translation unit the vtable is emitted. The compiler
makes use of that information to know where to emit the runtime-mandated type_info structures in the new-abi.
Member Function Documentation
const char* std::type_info::name () const [inline]
Returns an implementation-defined byte string; this is not portable between compilers!
Definition at line 102 of file typeinfo.
