That's the problem with a lot of the answers given here. They lack
context.
I think the lack of context is more the problems of the question in this
case.
I think (against the tide, I understand) that you should assume that a
poster has a reason for posting (as he does).
He should not have to justify that position beyond that which the fact
that he has posted has already done so.

Yes, but for most of these sizeof() questions the context seems most
likely to be "I can't do the questions on my C test".

"Passing the class" is probably an even more important - and more deserving
reason - than "I wanna get laid".

I'd really love to know which instructors keep giving this assignment.
Why do you want to "emulate sizeof", when sizeof exists just for this
purpose?
How about:
* * #define MySizeof(x) sizeof(x)
Now you can "emulate sizeof" by using "MySizeof(int)" , for example.

I think it is a punishment for missing some homework or something. I
totally agree with the Macro approach. Ask your instructor, What is
the point of this assignment?, will I ever work on a project and try
to emulate this?

Quandry:
Professor says "get the size of an object without using sizeof".
SO says "don't".

This probaly isn't possible with Python, but I thought I'd ask.
I want to emulate a key press programatically. I want the computer (G5
running Mac OSX 10.3) to think that the user has pressed the space bar on
the keyboard. Any module in Python that makes this easy? If not, I'll do
something in C.

Is there something similar for removeChild?

The term 'system-wide' just means that click is dealt in whole-screen

Just like the real mouse pointer.
What I'd like to do is to emulate mouse move and click.
For example, the command is something like
"Move the mouse to the 300,400 of the screen and click."
I know that I can send mouse clcik message to a specific window using
WinAPI. But can't I just emulate 300,400 click of the real screen?
I thought that I might need to...

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.
