pointer endianess sizeof()

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	int a[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
	cout<<sizeof(a)<<endl;
	int *ptr1 = (int *)(&a+1);
	int *ptr2 = (int *)((int)a+1);
	cout<<hex<<ptr1[-1]<<endl<<hex<<*ptr2<<endl; // negative index!
	cout<<dec<<sizeof(int)<<"   "<<sizeof(a)<<"   "<<sizeof(ptr1)<<endl; // remember to change back to dec!
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

running result:

20
5
2000000
4   20   4

explanation:

1) sizeof(a) = 5*4

2) note that &a is the address of a, (&a+1) points to a[5] => ptr[-1] points to a[4]

3) 32-bit x86 system => little-endian

     a[0]             a[1]
0x01 00 00 00     0x02 00 00 00

((int)a+1) points to the second byte of a[0] => ptr2 points to "00 00 00 02" => 0x02000000
