Title: little puzzle
Post by: czerny on May 06, 2014, 05:38:57 PM

Try to guess first what is the output of this little proggi!

Code: [Select]

#define SIZE 5

int size(int s[SIZE])
{
return sizeof(s);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int x[SIZE],k,n=SIZE;

k=size(x)+sizeof(n++);
printf("%d\n",k+n);
return 0;
}

sizeof(n++); is a cheat >:(

Array to pointer decay caught me off guard. At least C++ has references to arrays.  ::)
Interesting how n remains 5 after sizeof(n++). I didn't know that (https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/EXP44-C.+Do+not+rely+on+side+effects+in+operands+to+sizeof%2C+_Alignof%2C+or+_Generic).
