Using:
is wrong, but won't actually hurt you unless a contains more bytes than fit in an object of type signed int. If you're using an external object to store the results of the sizeof operator, its type should be size_t; not int.
Note that if you are in a subroutine that has been passed a pointer to an array of characters to be copied into an area of memory pointed to by another pointer to an array of characters, you have to be also be given the size of the destination array, as in:
because using:
gives you the size of the pointer to; not the size of the array of characters pointed to by to.
But, as long as the compiler knows the size of the destination object as in:
there is no need to create a variable to hold the result of the sizeof operator before calling strncpy().

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);
}
i am working on solaris 5.8
isn't the above function should return the size of empty structure (7 Replies)
Hi,
we are converting from IBM-AIX(xl c/c++ compiler) to Linux(GCC complier).
As a part of this i need to change the CFLAGS.
The xl c/c++ complier CFLAGS is
CFLAGS := $(CDEBUG) $(PROJECT_INCLUDE_DIRS) $(COBJECT_MODE) -qcpluscmt -qmakedep -qcheck=all \
-qalign=bit_packed $(LINT_FLAGS)... (0 Replies)
To make a programming language you need a compiler, so what was the first programming language and how was is created if you need the compiler first?
The compiler itself is considered as a high language comparing to the machine! since the compiler is not created in 1's and 0's...
Eventhough i... (12 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)
The below code throws the error, since the size of x = 19 is not passed to the cstrCopy function.
using namespace std;
static void cstrCopy(char *x, const char*y);
int main ()
{
char x;
const string y = "UNIX FORUM";
cstrCopy(x,y.c_str());
return 0;
}
void cstrCopy(char *x,... (3 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?

hi,
can we install gcc compiler in unix based OS(sun solar,IBM AIX,HP,etc) and also
can we install sun cc compiler in AIX environment and vice versa.
and more ..is linux support cc compiler

Hi,
I have defined the class and call the sizeof(object to class) to get the size.
# include <iostream>
# include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
class sample
{
private:
int i;
float j;
char k;
public:
sample()
