Unless you're on a very unusual system, 'char' will be one byte....

What kind of unusual systems have 'char' as not a byte? Some of the older ones?

None. char is defined to be one byte.

Odd... I wonder why they didn't just call it 'byte' then.

It's not defined as a byte. I don't have a copy of the standard, but it's not.

Quote:The 2003 C++ standard - 5.3.3 sizeof
The sizeof operator yields the number of bytes in the object representation of its operand. The operand
is either an expression, which is not evaluated, or a parenthesized type-id. The sizeof operator shall not
be applied to an expression that has function or incomplete type, or to an enumeration type before all its
enumerators have been declared, or to the parenthesized name of such types, or to an lvalue that designates
a bit-field. sizeof(char), sizeof(signed char) and sizeof(unsigned char) are 1;

This:

	struct var	{		int a;		float pos[12];		float tex[8];		float n[3];		char bytes[2];		bool passable;	};

and then just

size_t size = sizeof(var);printf("%d",(int)size);

And than you have it, MAN! where do you live?
