hello,
why following 2 codes does not give same result that is 10?
1)
#include <stdio.h>
#define DIM(array) sizeof(array)/sizeof(int)
void main()
{
int arr[10];
printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr));
}
2)
#include <stdio.h>
int DIM(int array[])
{
return (sizeof(array)/sizeof(int));
}
void main()
{
int arr[10];
printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr));

#define DIM(array) sizeof array / sizeof array[0]
is probably better. void main()
use int main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); }
2) #include <stdio.h> int DIM(int array[])
should ideally return size_t. { return (sizeof(array)/sizeof(int)); }
array is no longer the object you have in main, just a copy. void main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); } ra*******@gmail .com wrote: hello, why following 2 codes does not give same result that is 10? 1) #include <stdio.h> #define DIM(array) sizeof(array)/sizeof(int) void main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); }
2) #include <stdio.h> int DIM(int array[]) { return (sizeof(array)/sizeof(int));
From the draft of the C99 standard:
When applied to a parameter declared to have array [...] type,
the sizeof operator yields the size of the adjusted (pointer) type.
} void main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); } ra*******@gmail .com wrote: hello, why following 2 codes does not give same result that is 10? 1) #include <stdio.h> #define DIM(array) sizeof(array)/sizeof(int) void main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); }
2) #include <stdio.h> int DIM(int array[]) { return (sizeof(array)/sizeof(int)); } void main() { int arr[10]; printf("The dimension of the array is %d", DIM(arr)); }
When you pass an array as a parameter to a function it decays into a
pointer to the first element of the array. In the second case, inside
the DIM function, sizeof(array) is equivalent to siezof(int *), which
is the reason why the second method does not give the correct answer.
BTW, it would've been nice of your part to post the results of each
program.

Nonsense. array decay to pointer to first element of actual 'array'
in function parameter context.

Poor wording on my part, which is why I posted a second time. ra*******@gmail .com wrote: hello, why following 2 codes does not give same result that is 10? 1) #include <stdio.h> #define DIM(array) sizeof(array)/sizeof(int) void main()

Having recently had a need to use ZeroMemory from the kernel32.dll, I
"discovered" that there is apparently no .NET equivalent to the c/c++ sizeof
operator -- one does exist in the Marshall namespace, but it fails when
passed a managed type. I poked around the Reflection namespace, but found
nothing that fits the bill. Is there a runtime equivalent to sizeof in
..NET?

Hi All,
When I run the below program in MSVC, I get the output as

4
Could you tell me why sizeof 'A' is taken as 4? Is it standard defined
or compiler specific?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm a beginning C programmer and I have a question regarding arrays and
finding the number of entries present within an array.
If I pass an array of structures to a function, then suddenly I can't use
sizeof(array) / sizeof(array) anymore within that function ?
Help - What point am I missing ?

Hi, I have just one question :
how to know the size of an array, i have un little program, i use
first static, ant i can use sizeof() to know the size,
but when i put it as paremeter in the function, size of return "1".
ex
int tab;
printf("%d",sizeof(tab)/sizeof(int)); // print 10
int length(int *tab)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
