RE: [GD-General] meaning of sizeof(int) on all plateform

[Jay W. <woo...@Ro...>]

Hold on -- it seems to me that the existence of forward declaration necessi=
tates that all pointers be the same size.

I suppose you wouldn't lose information when casting, as long as it's guara=
nteed that sizeof(void*) >=3D sizeof(any other pointer).  Still, my underst=
anding has always been that all pointers are the same size.
