Doubts in c

Hi,

I have came across these following questions in some website. But i dont know the answers for those... Actually these are the interview questions asked in sun microsystems.

The questions are

1.How do you know my machine(CPU) is 64 bit or 32 bit
without use of sizeof oerator?

2. What do u mean by malloc(***)?

3. How can we know whether kernel has support for threading?

Can any body tell me what are the answers for those?

Thankx in advance,
Rajesh.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>



int main()

{

    char *c = (char*)0x100000000;      // 4Gb

    c++;



    if(&*c > 0)

        printf("machine is 64bit\n");

    else

        printf("machine is 32bit\n");



    return 0;

}

The syntax does not seem to conform to the ANSI/ISO Standard C.

Good luck :)
