Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [pschweitzer] 50612: [NTOSKRNL/PPC] Fix the fix, spotted by "ThFabba" on IRC

Hey,

Yes, array arguments are just simple pointers in C, so sizeof will
return the size of a pointer to the base type.
Exercise for the reader: Predict what happens when you try passing an
int[4] into an int[8] argument.

WBR,
