Hello Ranjith Kumar,

  You could do:

(gdb) print sizeof(global)
$1 = 400

  --

  - that's an instance of GDB's functionality to evaluate expressions in the source language with the 'print' command.

  See 'Examining Data' in the User Manual: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Data.html#Data

Best Regards,
Anmol.
