sizeof cannot be used in C preprocessor expressions, such as #if, because it is an element of the programming language, not of the preprocessor syntax, which has no data types. The following example in C++ uses the operator sizeof with variadic templates.
Character literals such as 'a' are of type int in C and of type char in C++, which means that sizeof 'a' will generally give different results in the two languages: in C++, it will be 1, while in C it will be sizeof(int).
Also, note that the immediate, unparenthesized result of a C cast expression cannot be the operand of sizeof. Therefore, sizeof (int) * x is interpreted as (sizeof(int)) * x and not sizeof ((int) * x).
Both of these types are defined in the <stddef.h> header (cstddef in C++). size_t is an unsigned integer type used to represent the size of any object (including arrays) in the particular implementation. The operator sizeof yields a value of the type size_t.
The sizeof operator on such a struct gives the size of the structure as if the flexible array member were empty. This may include padding added to accommodate the flexible member; the compiler is also free to re-use such padding as part of the array itself.
Although function pointers in C and C++ can be implemented as simple addresses, so that typically sizeof(Fx)==sizeof(void *), member pointers in C++ are sometimes implemented as "fat pointers", typically two or three times the size of a simple function pointer, in order to deal with virtual methods and virtual inheritance [citation needed].
int * array = calloc (10, sizeof (int)); With realloc we can resize the amount of memory a pointer points to. For example, if we have a pointer acting as an array of size n {\displaystyle n} and we want to change it to an array of size m {\displaystyle m} , we can use realloc.
In the C++ programming language, decltype is a keyword used to query the type of an expression.Introduced in C++11, its primary intended use is in generic programming, where it is often difficult, or even impossible, to express types that depend on template parameters.
