No it will crash, but Smile | :)
char *OPTIONS_ENUMS[5] = {"OPT_1","OPT_2","OPT_3","OPT_4"}; // This works
for(int j = 0; j < 100; j++)
{   
    if(OPTIONS_ENUMS[j] == NULL)     
    return j;
}


EDIT:
As Richard says in next post this may be error prone and is more a joke than a solution.

With C++0x (gcc 4.5 only for now) we can use the standard collections with initializer lists like:
std::vector<LPCSTR> OPTIONS_ENUMS = {"OPT_1","OPT_2","OPT_3","OPT_4"};

When not available (MS compilers for now) we must stay in C world and use a macro:
#define ARRAY_SIZE(_Array) (sizeof(_Array) / sizeof(_Array[0])) // This is the answer 

char *OPTIONS_ENUMS[] = {"OPT_1","OPT_2","OPT_3","OPT_4"}; 
for (j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE(OPTIONS_ENUMS); j++)
{   
    if(OPTIONS_ENUMS[j] == NULL) // will never happen   
    return j;

    // do something with OPTIONS_ENUMS[j]
}


cheers,
