Answer / sunil
When the parameter is a datatype.
For Eg: sizeof(int), sizeof(double)
#define GetSize(x) (char*)((x*)10 + 1) - (char*)10
When the parameter is a variable.
For Eg: int a;
float b;
sizeof(a), sizeof(b)
#define GetSize(x) (char*)(&x + 1) - (char*)&x

Answer / abdur rab
#include <stdio.h>
struct node {
int x;
int y;
};
unsigned int find_size ( void* p1, void* p2 )
{
return ( p2 - p1 );
}
int main ( int argc, char* argv [] )
{
struct node data_node;
int x = 0;
printf ( "\n The size :%d",
find_size ( (void*) &data_node,
(void*) ( &data_node +
1 ) ) );
printf ( "\n The size :%d", find_size ( (void*) &x,
(void*) ( &x + 1 ) ) );
}
It will work for any data type
