#include <dx/dx.h>

int DXTypeSize(Type t)
int DXCategorySize(Category c)

Functional Details

DXTypeSize returns the size in bytes of a variable of type t.
DXCategorySize returns the size multiplier for category c.

For a variable of type t and category c, the size in bytes is DXTypeSize(t) * DXCategorySize(c).
Note:This is the size of a single item of that type (e.g., a single component of a 3-vector). DXGetItemSize, in contrast, returns the size in bytes of the 3-vector.

The type is one of the following:

The category is either CATEGORY_REAL or CATEGORY_COMPLEX.
