Is the sizeof(some pointer) always equal to four?

Question

For example: sizeof(char*) returns 4. As does int*, long long*, everything that I\'ve tried. Are there any exceptions to this?

Answer 1

The reason the size of your pointer is 4 bytes is because you are compiling for a 32-bit architecture. As FryGuy pointed out, on a 64-bit architecture you would see 8.
