How can I get the size of a dynamically allocated array of double pointers? (pointer to pointer datatype)
int tokencnt=1;
tokenv=(char**)malloc(sizeof(char*));
while(tokencnt<11){
tokenv=(char**)realloc(tokenv,(tokencnt++)*sizeof(char*));
}
printf(*the size of tokenv*);
sizeof
does not work with alloc memory. If you malloc
stuff you have to keep track of the size. The reason sizeof
does not work, is because it will just give you the size of the pointer not the memory it points to.
