/*
When a programmer works with an array, C semantics provide access to a type that is different in every way from ``pointer to its first element.''

Its qualities become apparent by inspecting the declaration
*/
    float a[10];
/*

The inspection begins by using @sizeof@ to provide definite program semantics for the intuition of an expression's type.

Assuming a target platform keeps things concrete:
*/
    static_assert(sizeof(float)==4);    // floats (array elements) are 4 bytes
    static_assert(sizeof(void*)==8);    // pointers are 8 bytes
/*

Consider the sizes of expressions derived from @a@, modified by adding ``pointer to'' and ``first element'' (and including unnecessary parentheses to avoid confusion about precedence).
*/
    static_assert(sizeof(  a    ) == 40); // array
    static_assert(sizeof(& a    ) == 8 ); // pointer to array
    static_assert(sizeof(  a[0] ) == 4 ); // first element
    static_assert(sizeof(&(a[0])) == 8 ); // pointer to first element
/*
That @a@ takes up 40 bytes is common reasoning for C programmers.
Set aside for a moment the claim that this first assertion is giving information about a type.
For now, note that an array and a pointer to its first element are, sometimes, different things.

The idea that there is such a thing as a pointer to an array may be surprising.
It is not the same thing as a pointer to the first element:
*/
    typeof(& a    ) x;   // x is pointer to array
    typeof(&(a[0])) y;   // y is pointer to first element
                       ERR(
    x = y;             // ill-typed
    y = x;             // ill-typed
                       )
/*
The first gets
    warning: warning: assignment to `float (*)[10]' from incompatible pointer type `float *'
and the second gets the opposite.
*/

/*
We now refute a concern that @sizeof(a)@ is reporting on special knowledge from @a@ being an local variable,
say that it is informing about an allocation, rather than simply a type.

First, recognizing that @sizeof@ has two forms, one operating on an expression, the other on a type, we observe that the original answers are unaffected by using the type-parameterized form:
*/
    static_assert(sizeof(typeof(  a    )) == 40);
    static_assert(sizeof(typeof(& a    )) == 8 );
    static_assert(sizeof(typeof(  a[0] )) == 4 );
    static_assert(sizeof(typeof(&(a[0]))) == 8 );

/*
Finally, the same sizing is reported when there is no allocation at all, and we launch the analysis instead from the pointer-to-array type.
*/
    void f( float (*pa)[10] ) {
        static_assert(sizeof(   *pa     ) == 40); // array
        static_assert(sizeof(    pa     ) == 8 ); // pointer to array
        static_assert(sizeof(  (*pa)[0] ) == 4 ); // first element
        static_assert(sizeof(&((*pa)[0])) == 8 ); // pointer to first element
    }
    f( & a );

/*
So, in spite of considerable programmer success enabled by an understanding that
an array just a pointer to its first element (revisited TODO pointer decay),
this understanding is simplistic.
*/

/*
A shortened form for declaring local variables exists, provided that length information is given in the initializer:
*/
    float fs[] = {3.14, 1.707};
    char cs[] = "hello";

    static_assert( sizeof(fs) == 2 * sizeof(float) );
    static_assert( sizeof(cs) == 6 * sizeof(char) );  // 5 letters + 1 null terminator

/*
In these declarations, the resulting types are both arrays, but their lengths are inferred.
*/
