sizeof小览
http://blog.csdn.net/scythe666/article/details/47012347
一、文章来由—一道面试题迁出的探究
我发现我已经形成一种习惯写来由了，以后看博客的时候可以让我回忆起为什么出现这个问题，我用什么方法解决的，既然形成习惯就让这个习惯保持下去吧。今天实验室师姐在看书，一处不解，是关于sizeof的，大家讨论此问题后，我一向信服做了才知道答案，于是有了这篇文章。但是只能叫小览，因为不可能总结完sizeof的用法，欢迎补充和讨论。
二、从这道题目说起
我直接将问题的关键部分提出来：
<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">string</span> strArr1[] = { <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"Trend"</span>, <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"Micro"</span>, <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"Soft"</span> };
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span> << <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"sizeof(strArr1) == "</span> << <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(strArr1) << endl;</code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li></ul>请问输出多少，书上的答案这样写道：
而字符串strArr1是由3段构成的，所 以sizeof(strArr1)大小是12。 首先要明确sizeof不是函数，也不是一元运算符，它是个类似宏定义的特殊关键字，特别是sizeof(string)=4。
这个不去试是不知道的，因为编译器那么多，编译器做什么事情不去试怎么可能知道
果然，在vs2013 release Win32模式（x64模式还要更大）下结果是
sizeof(string) == 24 sizeof(strArr1) == 72
debug模式
sizeof(string) == 28 sizeof(strArr1) == 84
也是3倍关系，因为这是一个string数组，里面有三个string对象
那么为什么string有不同的结果？
查阅了相关资料得出结论：我们知道char*肯定是4字节，string里面可能不止包含一个char*那么简单，还包含有长度信息等其他信息，string的实现在各库中可能有所不同，但是在同一库中相同一点是，无论你的string里放多长的字符串，它的sizeof()都是固定的，字符串所占的空间是从堆中动态分配的，与sizeof()无关。
sizeof(string)=4可能是最典型的实现之一，不过也有sizeof()为12、32字节的库实现。 但是VC6.0测试后sizeof(string)=16.还是跟编译器有关为了完全测试一些东西，我测试越写越多，然后我来了威力加强版，见代码：

这里写图片描述
我来一一解释我的这些测试在做什么： （1）首先p的这种初始化方式，在末尾不会加’\0’，所以 sizeof(p) == 6；而且一个有趣的问题是printf和cout直接输出p是不同的，printf是要碰到’\0’结束，我也看了printf和cout的汇编代码，但是没有细究，之后又空详细研究一下 （2）p1和p2的sizeof不同，因为一个是指针，一个是字符数组，指针在Win32编译环境下的sizeof都是4，因为是4字节的地址，32bits可寻址空间 （3）p3是另一个有趣的问题，p3不能写成p3[3][]来初始化，因为这样初始化要保证二维数组每一行的个数相同，也就是不能出现“参差不齐”的情况，那种情况要动态分配 （4）这是一个陷阱

<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">4</span><<endl;

不要把sizeof当成函数，也不要看作一元操作符，把他当成一个特殊的编译预处理。
（5）这样的原因是999999是一个编译器int型可以搞定的数，所以按int来处理，太大的数不能用int搞定，但是8个字节一定可以搞定的
sizeof(999999) == 4 sizeof(9999999999999999999) == 8
（6）最后是看了（9 / 5）编译器是作为int看待的，强制转换后才是double
三、sizeof 能总结多少是多少
sizeof博大精深，即使看了很多资料，一口气总结完也是不可能了，总结常用的就好。
1、什么是sizeof
首先看一下sizeof在msdn上的定义： The sizeof keyword gives the amount of storage, in bytes, associated with a variable or a type (including aggregate types). This keyword returns a value of type size_t. 看到return这个字眼，是不是想到了函数？错了，sizeof不是一个函数，你见过给一个函数传参数，而不加括号的吗？sizeof可以，所以sizeof不是函数。网上有人说sizeof是一元操作符，但是我并不这么认为，因为sizeof更像一个特殊的宏，它是在编译阶段求值的。举个例子：

sizeof有三种语法形式，如下：
1) sizeof( object ); // sizeof( 对象 ); 2) sizeof( type_name ); // sizeof( 类型 ); 3) sizeof object; // sizeof 对象; 所以，
int i; sizeof( i ); // ok sizeof i; // ok sizeof( int ); // ok sizeof int; // error 既然写法1可以完全代替写法3，为求形式统一以及减少我们大脑的负担，第3种写法，忘掉它吧！
实际上，sizeof计算对象的大小也是转换成对对象类型的计算，也就是说，同种类型的不同对象其sizeof值都是一致的。这里，对象可以进一步延伸至表达式，即sizeof可以对一个表达式求值，编译器根据表达式的最终结果类型来确定大小，一般不会对表达式进行计算。如：
sizeof( 2 ); // 2的类型为int，所以等价于 sizeof( int ); sizeof( 2 + 3.14 ); // 3.14的类型为double，2也会被提升成double类型，所以等价于 sizeof( double );
3、函数的sizeof
函数类型
考虑下面的问题：<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">int</span> f1(){<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> <span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">0</span>;};
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">double</span> f2(){<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">return</span> <span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">0.0</span>;}
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">void</span> f3(){}
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(f1())<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// f1()返回值为int，因此被认为是int</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(f2())<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// f2()返回值为double，因此被认为是double</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(f3())<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 错误！无法对void类型使用sizeof</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(f1)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 错误！无法对函数指针使用sizeof </span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>*f2<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// *f2，和f2()等价，因为可以看作object，所以括号不是必要的。被认为是double</span></code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">8</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">9</li></ul>结论：对函数使用sizeof，在编译阶段会被函数返回值的类型取代
4、数组的sizeof
<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">char</span> a[] = <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"abcdef"</span>;
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">int</span> b[<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">20</span>] = {<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">3</span>, <span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">4</span>};
<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">char</span> c[<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">2</span>][<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">3</span>] = {<span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"aa"</span>, <span class="hljs-string" style="color: rgb(0, 136, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">"bb"</span>};
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 7</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(b)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 20*4=80</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(c)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 6</span></code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">7</li></ul>数组a的大小在定义时未指定，编译时给它分配的空间是按照初始化的值确定的，也就是7。c是多维数组，占用的空间大小是各维数的乘积，也就是6。可以看出，数组的大小就是他在编译时被分配的空间，也就是各维数的乘积*数组元素的大小。
结论：数组的大小是各维数的乘积*数组元素的大小。
这里有一个陷阱：
<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">int</span> *d = <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">new</span> <span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">int</span>[<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">10</span>];
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(d)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 4</span></code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li></ul>d是我们常说的动态数组，但是他实质上还是一个指针，所以sizeof(d)的值是4。 再考虑下面的问题：
<code class="language-c++ hljs cpp has-numbering" style="display: block; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Source Code Pro', monospace;font-size:undefined; white-space: pre; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; word-wrap: normal; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">double</span>* (*a)[<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">3</span>][<span class="hljs-number" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">6</span>];
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 4</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(*a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 72</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(**a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 24</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(***a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 4</span>
<span class="hljs-built_in" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 102); box-sizing: border-box;">cout</span><<<span class="hljs-keyword" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 136); box-sizing: border-box;">sizeof</span>(****a)<<endl; <span class="hljs-comment" style="color: rgb(136, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;">// 8</span></code><ul class="pre-numbering" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: absolute; width: 50px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 40px; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); list-style: none; text-align: right;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">1</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">2</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">3</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">4</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">5</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 5px;">6</li></ul>a是一个很奇怪的定义，他表示一个指向 double*[3][6]类型数组的指针。既然是指针，所以sizeof(a)就是4。
既然a是执行double*[3][6]类型的指针，a就表示一个double[3][6]的多维数组类型，因此sizeof(a)=3*6*sizeof(double)=72。同样的，*a表示一个double[6]类型的数组，所以sizeof(*a)=6*sizeof(double)=24。**a就表示其中的一个元素，也就是double了，所以sizeof(***a)=4。至于****a，就是一个double了，所以sizeof(****a)=sizeof(double)=8。
差不多也要结束了，如果更进一步了解，需要查阅更多的资料~~~
