How would you find the size of structure without using sizeof()?

Try using pointers


struct MyStruct
{
int i;
int j;
};

int main()
{
struct MyStruct *p=0;
int size = ((char*)(p+1))-((char*)p);
printf("\nSIZE : [%d]\nSIZE : [%d]\n", size);
return 0;
}

  2. What if struct size if more than the MAX int value, i.e you can't keep that value in an integer.

  5. This may give you appx value...still depends on the padding

    struct NODE_T p;
    char s;
    int size = (char*)&p-&s;

  6. This doesn't work
    for struct test {
    int i;
    char j;
    }

    the solution shows the size = 8 but it is 5

  8. struct MyStruct *p=NULL;
    p++;
    printf("size = %d",p);

  9. typedef struct node
    {
    int data;
    flaot a;
    char b;
    }node;

    void main()
    {
    node a[2]={0};
    printf("size = %d",a[1]-a[0]);
    }


    Correct me if I am wrong.

  10. struct el {
    int y;
    char s[30];
    };

    el arr[3];
    el *p1=arr;
    el *p2=&arr[1];
    long a1, a2;
    cout << "The address of the first structure element: " << p1 << "\n";
    cout << "The address of the second structure element: " << p2 << "\n";
    a1=(long)p1; a2=(long)p2;
    printf("Size is: %x in Hexadecimal\n", a2-a1);


    //If you simply print p2-p1 you'll get 1 (pointer //arithmetics). I used long to match pointer size of 4 //bytes (different machines could differ, I use //Macbook pro, dual core (2009) 64 bit OS.
    //This gives 24 in Hex which is 36 in Dec. so there is //little overhead for alignment on the structure //elements

  11. Short and sweet.

    struct moop {...};

    size_t my_size = (size_t)&((moop*)NULL)[1];

Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will sometimes affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Well I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for a lot more of your respective exciting content. Ensure that you update this again very soon.
