Getting memory size

Hi all

How can I find the size of memory allocated to the pointer.
For eg.

int main()
{
             int b[100];
             int *a = b;
             ....
             ....
             return 0;
}

In this function I want to get size of memory allocated to "a"
pointer.
How can this be done.

Regards
Nimish
