/// Use ARRAY_SIZE instead of dividing sizeof array with sizeof an element
///
//# This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
//# in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated memory
//# when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes a pointer
//# to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives in cases the
//# sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value. The result
//# may need some reformatting.
