> The issue with 1 is that it only works until you pass an array into a function by pointer, then the macro no longer works. GCC even has a warning for this.
Even worse, even if you specify the argument to be "of the type" array, it will actually still decay to a pointer. Basically, this macro will only work if you use it in the same function the array is defined.
When passing an array it decays into a pointer and the size is lost. We can also change sizeof to recover it, but there was a proposal for a _Lengthof operator which could work here.
