Title : Get size of type in bytes
Author : BlitzSupport

Description : BlitzMax lets you use SizeOf on an existing variable or object, but what if you just want to check the size of a type without creating one?

For instance, I just found I needed to create a bank the size of two integers:

Code: [Select]

CreateBank (SizeOf (OOPS_HAVENT_GOT_AN_INT_HANDY) * 2)


Just do SizeOf (Type (Null value for type -- 0 for numbers, Null for Blitz types))... [/i]

Code :

Code: BlitzMax

1. Print SizeOf (Byte (0))
2. Print SizeOf (Short (0))
3. Print SizeOf (Int (0))
4. Print SizeOf (Long (0))
5. Print SizeOf (Float (0))
6. Print SizeOf (Double (0))
7.  
8. ' Bonus ball! Size of type...
9.  
10. ' Example type/class...
11.  
12. Type Test
13.         Field temp1:Int         ' 4 bytes
14.         Field temp2:Short       ' 2 bytes
15. End Type
16.  
17. Print SizeOf (Test (Null))
