Thread: file size with binary write larger than it should be?

                            sizeof(int),  sizeof(str));
    return 0;
}

The result of this program yields:

1 1 1 7

So it would seem my sizeof function does not work in the same way as most of what I have read online seems to be suggesting.
I am compiling for a DSP Core, made by Ceva called Teaklite.

I am thinking I should try the #pragma pack(1) just to see what the file size results will be... if they are what I expected then its packing. If not, I have 16 bit char types and need to figure out something else.
