How can we check the size of a pointer?

[learning_qt]

I hope to check the allocated memory for one pointer with QT, but which function can we use?

like this:


ClassA *a = new ClassA();
int size = sizeof(a)

Hi,


int size = sizeof(*a);

is your friend and normal C++.

There's also QT_POINTER_SIZE.

Size of pointer is usually word size. They just hold addresses, remember ?
The size of class is size of object. sizeof(*a), in ur case
