Programmers must declare the bounds of _Array_ptr variables to be able to use them to access memory. The compiler constructs bounds for _Array_ptr typed expressions based on the bounds for variables.

* @brief Example of a simple C program that demonstrates the relationship between pointers and arrays. * This program shows how arrays and pointers are closely related in C. * It explains how array ...

Array access can be used instead of pointers for most chores and today’s optimizing compilers do a better job of pointer usage behind the scenes than most programmers could do with explicit ...

This is from “Expert C Programming” by Peter Van Der Linden which also makes a deep dive into the differences between pointers and arrays at the nuts and bolts level.

However, the pointer and array have long been recognized as some of the most difficult concepts for novice students learning C language. To help students become familiar with the concept of pointer ...
