Just to clarify what Vic means, in addition to the normal sometype array[somedim]; he's talking about sometype array[] = { init'ers }; where in this case (ONLY!) the compiler will fill in the [] with the number of initializers. Hence, by the } in this case, the incomplete array is completed and hence we can sizeof it.
