It's wrong. The C Standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 6.5.3.4) said: The sizeof operator yields the size (in bytes) of its operand, which may be an expression or the parenthesized name of a type. The size is determined from the type of the operand. Here the operand of sizeof is the expression c. Its type is double. So the result is absolutely sizeof(double). Linkage is irrevalent. -- Xi Ruoyao <ryxi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
