alt Hacker NewsIn practice, the [static n] notation can give you useful warnings and bounds checking.

And while the (*array_ptr)[3] notation take a moment to get used to, it is very logical. If you have a pointer to an array, you dereference it first and then indx into it. Again, useful for bounds checking: https://godbolt.org/z/ao1so9KP7
I know of this notations but I don't see many people using [static n].
Not sure why, maybe it doesn't feel like C anymore, maybe it feels hacky?
typically if you're passed an array you'd want to get more anyway, so you'd get passed a struct. Not sure.
