Since we are working on generating metadata about a structure by supplying the name of the structure, and getting its size during run time!!

R@j@$eg@r

Can we find out the size of a structure without using sizeof function? I have tried to write a macro passing the name of the structure as a parameter, but it did not work as expected!! Is there anyother way to do this? Please provide your valuable suggestions and code(if possible).....
