long Get_Construct_Min_Size(Construct_Identifier Construct_ID);
long Get_Construct_Min_Bit_Size(Construct_Identifier Construct_ID);

Parameters

Construct_Identifier Construct_ID: A construct identifier (generally name or UID).

Return Values

• Nonnegative: Minimum byte or bit size of construct.
• Negative: Error code.

Remarks

Get_Construct_Min_Size retrieves the byte size of the construct identified by Construct_ID.  Get_Construct_Min_Bit_Size retrieves the bit size of the construct identified by Construct_ID.

If the construct by design does not have a minimum size (list), the constant Variable_Size is returned.

The function will fail if Construct_ID is not a valid identifier for a construct.

Construct_ID is a platform-dependent identifier.
