How do I find the length of an array?

Question

Is there a way to find how many values an array has? Detecting whether or not I\'ve reached the end of an array would also work.

I provide a tricky solution here:

You can always store length in the first element:

// malloc/new

arr[0] = length;
arr++;

// do anything. 
int len = *(arr-1);

free(--arr); 

The cost is you must --arr when invoke free
