Only to people who think they know everything already and can't
be bothered to learn something new.  Or people so feeble minded
they shouldn't be programming in the first place.

Every programming language -- even Cobol, which was designed to
be readable by an "average" person -- has constructs that cannot
be understood without learning some details of the particular
language.  There is nothing so difficult about expressions like
'sizeof *xarray' that make them any more "cryptic" than numerous
other constructs that thousands or even hundreds of thousands of
people use every day.  If you want cryptic, try some of the more
esoteric spreadsheet formulas.  And those are used by people who
(in some cases) will never be able to write C programs.

C is not the only culprit.
And sometimes you need to write cryptic code to achieve other goals.

But it's something to fight against. Make it clear and simple.

There constructs in C that rise above a nominal threshold of
non-comprehensibility.  sizeof *xarray is not one of them.
