OpenVMS Alpha V7.1
DEC C V5.5
Hello !
Here is what says the size of long is 4 bytes and integer is also 4 bytes.
Where as in digital unix DEC C long size is 8 bytes. Since OpenVMS
is also 64 bit , can any bodyexplain why the size of long is 4 bytes?
How can show that pointer size is 64 bit and is there any way to check pls.
Thx in advance
Regards
Nagaraj Hegde
size of the long is:4
size of the int is:4
size of the double is:8
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
printf("size of the long is:%d\n",sizeof(long));
printf("size of the int is:%d\n",sizeof(int));
printf("size of the double is:%d\n",sizeof(double));
}

In a word, compatibility. : How can show that pointer size is 64 bit and is there any way to check pls. As mentioned, HELP CC /POINTER. Better -- since this is specifically a DEC C question and not an OpenVMS question -- see the DEC C notes conference at TURRIS::DECC. There have been various other similar discussions of this particular topic in that conference... | |||||
