identifier' : array bounds overflow

An array has too many initializers:

  • Array elements and initializers do not match in size and quantity.

  • No space for the null terminator in a string.

The following sample generates C2117:

// C2117.cpp  
int main() {  
   char abc[4] = "abcd";   // C2117  
   char def[4] = "abd";   // OK  
}
