Answer / govind279
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n;
int x,*p,*p1;/* here u can change the type */
p=&x;
p1=(p+1);
printf("size of x is : %d\n",n=(char *)(p1)-(char *)p);
}
Note:without type cast, it always gives 1.
i.e 1 int(4 chars), 1 float(4 chars),1 double(8
chars)etc...coz p+1 points to the next new location of same
type.

Answer / g
This code will work in TC with 2 warnings but can get result
void main()
{
char *Ptr1,*Ptr2;
float fl;
ptr1 = &fl;
ptr2 = (&fl+1);
printf("%u",ptr2-ptr1);
}
This is a way to get the size of data type...waiting for
any other way...

Answer / sunil
This has been solved in parts. I am not sure if there are
any better method merging it.
case 1. User passes a variable as the parameter.
eg: int n;
sizeof(n);
case 2. User passes a data type as the parameter.
eg: sizeof(int)
Solution
case 1: #define GetSize(x) (char*)(&x + 1) - (char*)&x
case 2:#define GetMySize(x) (char*)((x*)10 + 1) - (char*)10

Answer / abdur rab
#include <stdio.h>
struct node {
int x;
int y;
};
unsigned int find_size ( void* p1, void* p2 )
{
return ( p2 - p1 );
}
int main ( int argc, char* argv [] )
{
struct node data_node;
int x = 0;
printf ( "\n The size :%d",
find_size ( (void*) &data_node,
(void*) ( &data_node +
1 ) ) );
printf ( "\n The size :%d", find_size ( (void*) &x,
(void*) ( &x + 1 ) ) );
}
this will work for any data type
