There are 32 2-dimensional arrays in function parameters, and 1
3-dimensional array. No 4-dimensional arrays. I didn't check past that.
None of these has a sizeof or ARRAY_SIZE.
The three dimensional array is here: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c
Ok. That actually looks like a valid use of the C function argument
array passing semantics. It's rather much simpler than exposing the
pointers.
So I guess we don't really end up wanting to disallow this, and the
new gcc array sizeof warning is good enough.
Thanks for running the analysis so that I didn't have to look at it ;)
The double arrays also look OK - the uses are also explicit double array
references.
