c++ - How can a template function 'know' the size of the array given as template argument?

In the C++ code below, the templated Check function gives an output that is not what I would like: it's 1 instead of 3. I suspect that K is mapped to int*, not to int[3] (is that a type?). I would like it to give me the same output than the second (non templated) function, to which I explicitly give the size of the array...

Short of using macros, is there a way to write a Check function that accepts a single argument but still knows the size of the array?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int data[] = {1,2,3};

template <class K>
void Check(K data) {
  cout << "Deduced size: " << sizeof(data)/sizeof(int) << endl;
}

void Check(int*, int sizeofData) {
  cout << "Correct size: " << sizeofData/sizeof(int) << endl;
}

int main() {
  Check(data);
  Check(data, sizeof(data));
}

Thanks.

PS: In the real code, the array is an array of structs that must be iterated upon for unit tests.

template<class T, size_t S> 
void Check(T (&)[S]) {  
   cout << "Deduced size: " << S << endl;
}
