Real data type sizes

Started by romaxin February 7, 2005


Hi all,

I am extremly confused about data types in CCS. Help tells me the
following:

Type Size Representation
char, unsigned char 16 bits ASCII
short, signed short 16 bits 2s complement
unsigned short 16 bits Binary
int, signed int 16 bits 2s complement
unsigned int 16 bits Binary
long, signed long 32 bits 2s complement
unsigned long 32 bits Binary
long long 40 bits 2s complement

But when checking the actual data size with 'sizeof' function I get
the following:

sizeof(char) = 1
sizeof(long) = 2
sizeof(long long) = 4
sizeof(int) = 1

It does not match at all. Does someone know the actual data type
sizes?

Thanks.




looks like it is returning bytes?

Gee, harland its definetly not matching! Int bits and sizeof(int)= 1?
Romaxin, somethhing is wrong somwhere. Can you tell us which DSP are
you targeting? 54x? 55x?
