ask a simple question about int pointer.# Programming - 葵花宝典
g*l
1 楼
I was asked such a question: how to determine the size of memory of the int
pointer pointed? for example
int GetTheSizeofMemory(int *buffer)
{
int size;
//enter your code here, to calculate the memory size of buffer point to.
return size;
}
we can not use sizeof(buffer) to get the value, how should we do?
thanks.

find the diff b/w buffer + 1 and buffer

b/w = between :)

no, this will always return the sizeof(int *)
I mean if we have
int num[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0};
int size=GetTheSizeofMemory(num);
how do you get the size as 10?
I was asked this question, I finally told him that I dont know how to do
this.

no way.
if they can do so, why do so many system calls need to pass buffer size as a
parameter?

how?
the interviewers was not statisfied with this question, and then only as
ked me another question then said bye to me.
the talk only lasted for 15 minutes.
May be I misunderstood his question, but he did read the code, let me wr
ite some code to return the value of the size.
I also told him that we can not use sizeof(buffer) to get the value, he
agreed, then I have no idea.

C++貌似可以用模板：

template
std::size_t GetTheSizeofMemory(const T &t) {
return sizeof(t);
}
int main() {
int num[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0};
std::cout << GetTheSizeofMemory(num) << std::endl; // 40
}

I have done it before, not in my dream.
There are simple "hack" methods to find out the memory block size associated
with a pointer. It won't work across all compilers/platforms.

如果说明int* buff是malloc或者什么函数返回的，取决于implementation，从这个
地址可能推算保存内存分配信息的地址，从而得到当初分配内存的大小。
