Thanks for the answers so far but if there is no
solution for this issue, it would really be a SERIOUS
problem for me and also for everyone out there when
using the built-in function sizeof(..) !!!!!!! What
can I do if I want to define several structure types
defined a structure of a message and try to decode it
using the structure pointers as follows:
typedef struct
{
char preamble[2];
char command;
}
HeaderType;
typedef struct
{
char checksum[2];
char terminator;
}
TrailerType;
typedef struct
{
HeaderType header;
char data[10];
TrailerType trailer;
}
MessageType;
Any solution? Thanks.
