Thread: Void *

I have a scenario in which user types int,float or double.
i use void pointers and pass it to a function.

Code:

void get (void * elm)
{



---------------

}

Is there any way to get the size of the element in the get function (for char :1 etc...)
ofcourse if we pass another parameter to the get function while calling this can be done.
But my question is whether can i get the size without pass the size to the function.

The 2 most straightforward things to do would be the following:

1) do as you yourself suggested and pass an additional argument
2) pass a struct containing type and void * (struct Value { enum type, void *val })

Note to the moderators: board won't let me post because of my inline (not-necessarily-syntactically-correct code sample) above, instead demanding code tags. This is *not* an improvement. And as you can see, easy enough to circumvent. MUHAHAHA.
