    It is a "beginner's" error to confuse the size of the pointer with
the size of the pointed. Indeed there are many "beginner's" errors
possible in C. But it's not the same story.

    I admit that I have often used sizeof(array)/sizeof(element) to
mean the number of elements. But when I realized - recently - that it
was an artefact relying on the compiler and not on the language, and not
semantically true, I stopped. I would now prefer using a macro as you
suggested, or a constant.
