    Use templates:

    template<typename T, unsigned int SIZE>
    bool IsArray (T (&a)[SIZE]) { return true; }
    
    template<typename T>
    bool IsArray (T *p) { return false; }
    

    This will evaluate at runtime.
    Usage:

    if(IsArray(s1))
    ...
    
    if(IsArray(s2))
    ...
    

    If interested, you can use some advance techniques, which will tell you this as compile time.

    Edit:

    typedef char (&yes)[2];
    
    template<typename T, unsigned int SIZE>
    yes IsArray (T (&a)[SIZE]);
    
    template<typename T>
    char IsArray (T *p);
    

    Usage:

    if(sizeof(IsArray(s1)) == sizeof(yes))
    ...
    if(sizeof(IsArray(s2)) == sizeof(yes))
    ...
