+.. c:macro:: Py_ARRAY_LENGTH(array)
+
+   Compute the length of a statically allocated C array at compile time.
+
+   The *array* argument must be a C array with a size known at compile time.
+   Passing an array with an unknown size, such as a heap-allocated array,
+   will result in a compilation error on some compilers, or otherwise produce
+   incorrect results.
+
+   This is roughly equivalent to::
+
+      sizeof(array) / sizeof((array)[0])
