Functions having array parameters

The following declares a function that has a parameter a that is an array of int :

void print$(inta[])\{\}$

In $C,$ an array parameter always decays to a pointer; in other words, the function above is equivalent to:

void print $(int*a)\{\}$

and many traditional $C$ programmers will declare their functions in this way.

Suppose that you specify the size of the array using an int literal:

$\frac{\frac{?}{?}}{d}$on't $do$ this

void print$(inta[8])\{\}$

can be called without a compiler warning with an int array of any size.

C$99$ slightly improved things by allowing the programmer to declare the function like so:

$\frac{\frac{?}{?}}{o}k$ and recommended $todo$ this

void print$(inta[static8])\{\}$

called with an array having fewer than $8$ elements $($the compiler cannot easily do so because $C$ does not keep track of the size of dynamically allocated arrays$).$

The functions in this question have array parameters where the minimum size of the array is declared using the static keyword.
