Now, as for your array of bytes, theoretically the maximum size is ~2 billion bytes, but you will never be. able to allocate that size from a 32 bit process. Same goes for your 420. Mbytes array, allocating this from a 32 bit process will certainly lead to. OOM failures, as a result of heap fragmentation.
In the programming languages C and C++, the unary operator sizeof generates the size of a variable or datatype, measured in the number of char size storage units required for the type. As such, the construct sizeof (char) is guaranteed to be 1. The actual number of bits of type char is specified by the preprocessor macro CHAR_BIT, defined in the include file limits.h. On most modern systems this is eight bits.
