#154464 - No, it isn't. Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The "solutions" proposed require direct access to low-level features.
While particular compilers may offer specific "tricks" to do such things, the standard 'C' language does not. So you're back to the same old thing: to do any of them, you'd have to know in advance what processor it is - and, once you know that, you already know its word size - don't you?! |

| C is not that portable! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| thanks but could u clarify | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| I think you missed the point | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Various compilers different results | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Word size - not code size? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| u r correct | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Determining object sizes - at run time | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Not quite | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Correct ! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| not sure what you would do with the information | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| This was an interview question | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| More trick interview questions | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| I found the solution, Andy , Neil please comment | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Great! Now do it in C | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Same logic for C and asm | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| No, it isn't. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| What would be the point? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| It is worse than that | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| the whole question is silly | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| It can even get this silly... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
It is an interview question | 01/01/70 00:00 |
