### <a name="Rr-ap"></a>R.14: ??? array vs. pointer parameter
### <a name="Rr-ap"></a>R.14: Avoid `[]` parameters, prefer `span`
##### Reason
An array decays to a pointer, thereby losing its size, opening the opportunity for range errors.
Use `span` to preserve size information.
##### Example
??? what do we recommend: f(int*[]) or f(int**) ???
void f(int[]); // not recommended
**Alternative**: Use `span` to preserve size information.
void f(int*); // not recommended for multiple objects (a pointer should point to a single object, do not subscript)
void f(gsl::span<int>); // good, recommended
##### Enforcement
Flag `[]` parameters.
Flag `[]` parameters. Use `span` instead.
