Motivation / Problem
Using
lengthof
of C++-containers is all kinds of bad.Description
Replace the cases where
lengthof
was used incorrectly with a simple substitute. It's not the proper-proper fix, but that requires migrating more to proper C++-containers and that makes backporting this a lot harder.Replace
lengthof
with a variant that simply causes compilation failures when a non C-style array is passed. It is the way the locations with problems were found.Limitations
Going fully C++ containers is the better way, but baby steps.
This is just trying to do the minimum to have something that can be backported easily.
