Hi! Can someone tell me how I can get the size of a dynamic allocated array? I mean how can i find out how many elements have been allocated? For example: char* pnt = new char[10]; How can i find out how many char elememts have been allocated. I cant do this: int size = sizeof(pnt); because that will only give me the size of the pointer which is 4. And i cant do this either: int size = sizeof(*pnt); because that will give me the size of the type of element pnt points to...Does someone know how i can find out how many elements has been allocated??? Thanks...

Your code has to remember what it allocated.

You need to save the array size when allocating it.

eg :

typedef struct {
int size;
char* pChar;
} arrayOfchar;

or use the STL
