word size

arvindms82

HI All,
I am using some processor with word size say 16bits.
1)Now i write a small program and print the sizeof(int)--- here I am using borlan c complier.Then i get answer as 2.
2)now if i repeat the step 1 using VC++ complier --- amswer is 4.

Can any one tell me how sizeof() is evaluated form processor to processor and complier to complier :confused:

bye arvi

Try to change the memory model settings in borland IDE and see the difference
