How to do it...

We will create an application that handles a data buffer of a variable size. We need an ability to access any address of memory provided by a target platform if needed. Follow these steps to do so:

1. In your working directory, that is, ~/test, create a subdirectory called sizet.
2. Use your favorite text editor to create a file called sizet.cpp in the sizet subdirectory. Copy the following code snippet into the sizet.cpp file:

#include <iostream>  void StoreData(const char* buffer, size_t size) {  std::cout << "Store " << size << " bytes of data" << std::endl;}int main() {  char data[] = "Hello,\x1b\a\x03world!";  const char *buffer = data;  std::cout << "Size of buffer pointer is " << sizeof(buffer) << std::endl; std::cout << "Size ...
