c++ - Have compiler check the number of array initializers

Question

Initializing an array (in C++, but any solution which works for C will likely work here as well) with less initializers than it has elements is perfectly legal:

int array[10] = { 1, 2, 3 };

However, this can be a source of obscure bugs. Is there a way to have the compiler (gcc) check the number of initializers for one specific array, and emit a warning or even an error if declared and actual size don't match?

I know I can use int array[] = { 1, 2, 3 }; and could then use static assertions involving sizeof(array) to verify my expectation there. But I'm using array in other translation units, so I have to declare it with an explicit size. So this trick won't work for me.

(promoted from a comment as requested)

If the values in the array are important to the correct functionality of the system, and having zero-initialized values at the end causes bugs, then I would just add a unit test to verify the array contains the right data, instead of trying to enforce it in the code.
