why is sizeof value screwed up

[emiii]

Hi all,

I have a printk (kernel code) that prints out a sizeof value. Normally it prints out the correct value. But in one weird test, the sizeof value printed out is totally wrong.

Since sizeof value is determined at compile time, I would guess it is not sizeof that is wrong, but something else is screwing up my printk.

But what? Could anyone think of possible reasons a value like this can be screwed up?

Thanks a lot!

Since you didn't show any code, I have no idea.
All I can think of is that you're trying to take the sizeof a pointer.
