sizeof in C++: Compile-Time Evaluation

💡 C++ Insight — Day 2/100 Did you know? sizeof doesn’t evaluate expressions! int x = 10; std::cout << sizeof(x++) << std::endl; std::cout << x << std::endl; 👉 Output: sizeof(x++) gives size of int x is still 10 (not incremented!) ⚙️ Why? sizeof works at compile-time, so the expression is not executed. Don’t rely on side effects inside sizeof — they won’t happen! #CPP #CPlusPlus #ModernCPP #100DaysOfCode #Programming #CodingTips #EmbeddedSystems #SoftwareEngineering #LowLevelProgramming #TechCommunity #Developers
