size_t

[Craig]

Hi,

Im ashamed to ask, but could anyone inform me of what the size_t type is
and where I can find information concerning C/C++ libraries. I constantly
read articles telling me to use specific functions for specific purposes,
but where does their information come from?

Thanks,

Craig.

size_t is a typedef that represent a datatype suitable for storing the
size of objects in bytes, on the target platform. On most 32-bit systems
it's underlying type is unsigned int.
You can find information on the Standard Library in books, online search
engines (simply type the name of the function on google) or by hitting
F1, if you're compiler offers online help.
