No We cannot use that information.. Reason
1 That is implantation of the compiler dependent and moreover is NOT
expose.
2 When we use malloc to allocate memory in heap. its the base address of
the value we get.. and incase of array there is no way you are restricted
to put your values beyond your
it will always work if array is statically allocated
Not if dynamically allocated, say using malloc etc.

When malloc allocates memory it assigns a size field in the header to
indicate the size of the memory it allocates at a stretch. Can we not use
this information effectively?

Not
sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0])

i already said this is not possible , in my intial draft , as we dont have
any information of memory owner in called function , just have base address
which is address of single element of the array .

i think this is not possible as you are passing only base address of the
int array to it , there is not information about the owner .

If the array was declared as int array[100];
then sizeof operator will give you the size of that array. then length can
found as
length = sizeof(array)/sizeof(int);
if the array was declared dynamic then you can not find the length of that
array.
