Changed to bool is_array_parm;
and from macros to inline functions.

[gcc]
* tree-core.h (tree_parm_decl): Add new member bool is_array_parm
* tree.h (set_parm_decl_is_array): New function.
            (parm_decl_array_p): New function.

[gcc/c]
* c-decl.c (push_parm_decl): Call set_parm_decl_is_array.
* c-typeck.c (c_expr_sizeof_expr): Add check for sizeof-array-argument warning.

[gcc/c-family]
* c.opt (-Wsizeof-array-argument): New option.

[gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg]
* sizeof-array-argument.c: New test-case.

Thanks and Regards,
Prathamesh
