Hi Enrico, I am not sure. No, because 32bit code will tell the datatype size and i think pointer variable depends on architecture. So 64 bit processor needs 64 address line to point the data location. So pointer variable needs to be 8 byte. please correct me if i am worng. Thanks, Prabhu Enrico Granata wrote:
What if one is compiling 32bit code on a 64bit processor? Would 4 be an acceptable result to you in that case?

Hi Dear,
I just wanna to know my processor architecture(32bit or 64 bit) through c programming.
According to me the sizeof of pointer will give the result. Like below coding.
int main() { int *ptr; printf("%d",sizeof(ptr)); }
Please correct me if i am wrong...
Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Prabhu
