<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>my type – written in c++ - needs a dynamic
number of inputs and outputs. this i implement by a cycle in the proforma. thus,
the xin and xout arrays do not have a constant size anymore which can be set in
the source code directly. instead, i have to determine the size of the arrays
dynamically. i tried sizeof(xin/xout), this however yields the size of the
bytes needed by the variabel type, but not the number of the array elements. as
far as i understand, the arrays that are passed are c-arrays, not c++arrays
(for c++ arrays sizeof yields the total number of bytes of the array so that
the number of elements are given by sizeof(array)/sizeof(type)) . how do i get the
number of elements? can c-arrays easily be converted into c++arrays (not my
favourite)? are c-arrays generally 0-terminated (i can remember anymore...)? does
anyone have a simple solution which i am to blind to see???<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
