Why use sizeof(int) in a malloc call? -


i new c++ , in mpi programming. have confused code block in c++

int count; count=4; local_array=(int*)malloc(count*sizeof(int));

why using sizeof(int) here in mpi programming?

i see you're trying allocate 4 ints here.

if @ malloc's signature, takes number of bytes first parameter. stated here, int data type takes 4 bytes.

therefore, if want 4 ints, have typed local_array=(int*)malloc(count*4);. not remembers int actualy takes 4 bytes. that's why use sizeof find out actual size of object or type.

c# - SharpDX Toolkit models rendering inside out -

a little while ago decided switch xna sharpdx toolkit actively being supported , quite similar xna. while i've had no trouble @ creating 2d games decided attempt basic 3d game. can both model , it's texture load when renders shows texture on side facing away camera doesn't show @ in between. this code using set environment. vector3 cameraposition = new vector3(0, 0, -10f * 2.5f); vector3 cameratarget = vector3.zero; boundingsphere modelbounds = model.calculatebounds(); float fovangle = mathutil.degreestoradians(45); float aspectratio = (float)graphicsdevice.backbuffer.width / graphicsdevice.backbuffer.height; float near = 0.01f; float far = 100f; float scaling = 10f / modelbounds.radius; matrix translation = matrix.scaling(scaling) * matrix.rotationy((float)gametime.totalgametime.totalseconds) * matrix.translation(0, -modelbounds.center.y * scaling, 0); matrix lookat = matrix.lookatlh(cameraposition, cameratarget, vector3.u...
