No, that's what the caller says is the length of the array and as we already established, they're lying. ;)
In all seriousness there is quite a difference in structures that allow themselves to have guarantees built into the language/tooling (like including the size of the array in the languages basic "array" building block) vs. the more manual book-keeping the C code above requires.
