Array bounds checking is not performed on C-style arrays and any attempt to access memory outside the bounds of an array gives rise to undefined behaviour. Also C-style arrays do not maintain a record of the size of the array.

Array semantics should be provided by C++ classes that enforce appropriate bounds. Prefer to use STL vector template where possible.
