PVS-Studio warning V511 for Chromium

uint8 salt_[LINK_SALT_LENGTH];

VisitedLinkMaster::TableBuilder::TableBuilder(
    VisitedLinkMaster* master,
    const uint8 salt[LINK_SALT_LENGTH])
    : master_(master),
      success_(true) {
  fingerprints_.reserve(4096);
  memcpy(salt_, salt, sizeof(salt));
}

The 'salt' object is simply a pointer. Value LINK_SALT_LENGTH in the square brackets indicates to the programmer that he is working with an array of LINK_SALT_LENGTH items.
But it is not an array of items which is passed into the function - it is only the pointer.
So, the sizeof(salt) expression will return value 4 or 8 (the size of the pointer in a 32-bit/64-bit system).


This suspicious code was found in Chromium project by PVS-Studio static code analyzer.
Warning message is:
V511 The sizeof() operator returns size of the pointer, and not of the array, in 'sizeof (salt)' expression.  browser  visitedlink_master.cc  968
