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 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)

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,
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)

struct foo
{
char c;
};
void main()
{
struct foo f;
cout<<sizeof(f);
}
