Getting the size of member variable

Question

If there is a POD structure, with some member variables, for example like this:

struct foo
{
   short a;
   int b;
   char c[50];
   // ...
};

Answer 1

C++-0x allows you to do this:

  std::cout << sizeof( foo::a ) << std::endl;
  std::cout << sizeof( foo::b ) << std::endl;
  std::cout << sizeof( foo::c ) << std::endl;

C++-0x allows sizeof to work on members of classes without an explicit object.

The paper is here: Extending sizeof to apply to non-static data members without an object (revision 1)

I saw the post about this above too late. Sorry.
