Please, compile and run this program and see results.
==================  Begin of 12448.cpp  =================
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

template <class T> size_t size_of() {return sizeof(T);};

int main()
{
    cout
        << size_of<char>()
        << size_of<short>()
        << size_of<int>()
        << size_of<long>()
        << size_of<double>()
        << endl;
    return 0;
}

// This program print "12448" ===================  End of 12448.cpp
