>Description:
Neither the C nor the C++ front-end of GCC 3.1 issues a warning for this.  (I tried -W -Wall for both.)

I know the generated code is absolutely correct, but a warning would be in order (and should probably be on by default, given it will be rare outside obfuscation contests).
>How-To-Repeat:
int func(int array[], int* pointer)
{
        int n1 = sizeof(array);   // no, it isn't
        int n2 = sizeof(pointer);
	return n1 - n2;
}

int main()
{
	int v[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};
	return func (v, v);
}
