size of a pointer

purely out of curiosity, does anyone know the size of a pointer in memory (under Windows OS)?

sizeof(void*)

thanks, should have thought of that myself :o

You should regard each pointer as a different type, which may have a different representation than other pointer types (and consequently, a different size).

I suppose the implication of this (given the rules for C) that a void* pointer is big enough to hold any pointer type (since assignment to void* and back again preserves information).
