Why do C and C++ compilers allow array lengths in function signatures when they're never enforced?

Question

This is what I found during my learning period:

#include
using namespace std;
int dis(char a[1])
{
    int length = strlen(a);
    char c = a         


        

Answer 1

To tell the compiler that myArray points to an array of at least 10 ints:

void bar(int myArray[static 10])

A good compiler should give you a warning if you access myArray [10]. Without the "static" keyword, the 10 would mean nothing at all.
