Here's another C question:

I have an array of pointer to char declared in my program. Let's say it look
like:

  char *items[]={"one","two","three"};

Is it possible to determine the lengths of the strings at compile time? I'd
like to be able to do something like:

  int len1=sizeof(items[0]);

But that sets len1 to the size of the pointer (4), not the length of the string
(3). Do I have to go through with strlen() for the whole list or is there a
compile time method?
