Another way I can suggest would be passing the file name at command prompt.
./size foo.txt
foo.txt should c
Vika,
Perhaps you can add a sizeof field to your structures and query it?
struct s{
int a;
float b;
int mysize = sizeof(s);
};
int function(struct *s){
return s->mysize;
}
Pardon my code, its more like psuedocode than anything that will compile, but
the idea is there. The probl

You can't do this in C, but you might be able to achieve something
similar us

Wow, that's a lot of work :-)

Thanks, This is a workable solution.
But the issue is I've some 100+ structures. So, writing
a if or case is going to be difficult.
a) You are right.
b) Yes. I want to pass a structure name. ie, make sizeof
accept a variable.
Is this impossible?
Thanks,
Vikas

I guess I was not clear. Say, we have two structures.
str1 {int x, char y} and str2 {int x, char *y};
printf(sizeof(struct str1)); will give proper output. ie memory occupied
by str1.
What I want is, instead of hard-coding str1 etc., I want to find
the size of structure which I will give as 1st
strlen on a null pointer will segfault...
if arc is 1 then argv[0] will contain a pointer to an array of char
if arc is 2 then argv[1] (the users first argument) will contain an
array of char..
so don't forget to check the number of arguments ..

argv is a charecter pointer . You cannot pass struct * as an
