Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 3/3 v2] Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated value
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 23:18:21 +0200 [thread overview]

Yes. Because if you make an array, all of them must be aligned, and
the size of an array is a multiple of sizeof(array_item). While
alignment is not in the standard, the sizeof/array relationship is.
It's in C99 draft (http://busybox.net/~landley/c99-draft.html)
6.5.3.4 The sizeof operator
#6
EXAMPLE 2 Another use of the sizeof operator is to compute the
number of elements in an array:
sizeof array / sizeof array[0]
