The Wikipedia article states (I don't have my K&R book in front of me... besides, it wouldn't cover this case, anyway) that C99 allows /dynamic/ size determination: " sizeof is generally a compile-time operation, although in C99 it can be used at run-time to find the size of a variable length array. " Oddly, this statement is contradicted without qualification immediately below: " Since argv is a pointer to an array rather than an array itself, sizeof(argv) is equivalent to sizeof(char **) — that is, the size of the pointer type of argv. It will not be the size of the array to which argv points (which consists of a series of char* pointers).
