About LinkBacksI have a piece fo code that I need to modify to return the number of bytes in a smart array of type <char>. Anyone know how to do this? I don't use smart types (I think they are yucky), but I have to fix someone elses code on this one.
This is a discussion on size of <char> within the C++ Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; I have a piece fo code that I need to modify to return the number of bytes in a smart ...

Until you can build a working general purpose reprogrammable computer out of basic components from radio shack, you are not fit to call yourself a programmer in my presence. This is cwhizard, signing off.
What is a "smart array?"Originally Posted by abachler
its that STL crapola like <char> Foo instead of char Foo[];

You mean a vector? The size of a vector of char, in bytes, is simply array.size()
thx

Note that the only definite guarantee that C and C++ give about sizes of types is that sizeof(char) == 1. That's because other types are measured in terms of char.
All the buzzt!

I see you using a lot of windows-esque notation in some of your other code. Are you working with chars or TCHARs?
