what's wrong with?:
echo ${#array[@]}
It will return:
- With array=(1 2 3) -> 3
- With array=() -> 0
- With unset array -> 0
- With declare -a array -> 0
Seems to do what you're looking for.

Not when "-u" is set, which I often have on to help catch misspellings
On 4.3 and earlier, at least on arrays, one could have
the illusion of this working w/o complaint -- and returning
0 when the array was 0-len or unset, or the array length,
otherwise:
echo ${#array[@]:-0}
But I note it only seemed to work in arrays, and in 4.4 gets a
syntax error:
echo ${#ar
