Maybe this is correct when dealing with the main function, but I've used many times this example below and found it to work fine, but i do always compile it from a seperate .cpp this method can be useful for when adding complicated hooks or patches to a piece of code and placing the new function in a cave or new section

void funct1()
{
    funct1code...
}

void funct2()
{
    funct2code...
}

void funct3()
{
    funct3code...
}

void dummy()
{
}

#define funct1size ((DWORD)funct2-(DWORD)funct1))
#define funct2size ((DWORD)funct3-(DWORD)funct2))
#define funct3size ((DWORD)dummy-(DWORD)funct3))
