decaying of array

[dis_is_eagle]

Hi.I know that when an array name is used with the sizeof() operator,it
does not decay into a pointer.Is there any other situation when the
decaying to a pointer thing does not happen.Thanks for help.Eric

When it is the operand of &

Or when it's a string literal used to initialize an array.
