2D arrays: are all elements in a 2d array guarenteed to be contiguous?

See topic;

Context:
Passing arrays around in a MPI system(Message Passing Interface-
Parallel Program crap)

Thanks much!

Don't do that. There are some newsreaders still in wide use that do
not show the subject line while displaying bodies.

The context is immaterial.

In any case, the answer is no, there is no such guarantee, because
there is no such thing as a two (or higher) dimensional array in C++.
There are arrays of arrays, but the behavior is not defined for
accessing them as a single contiguous array with a type other than
unsigned char.

Is there a performance advantage to parsing thru a recordset verus using an array? I'm currently trying to populate a listbox by returning data from my database, then either parsing thru the recordset until I reach the EOF, or putting the data into an array. Thanks for your assistance.

Ok, I'm quite a newbie, so this question may appear silly. I'm using g++ 3.3.x. I had been taught that an array isn't a lot different from a pointer (in fact you can use the pointer arithmetics to "browse" it). So I expected that when I run this program, I get both c1.A and c2.A pointing to the same address, and changing c1.A means that also c2.A changes too. ----- BEGIN example CODE -----------

Hi, I am trying to read in a list of data from a file. Each line has a string in its first column. This is what i want to read. I could start by saying char to read in 1000 lines to the array( i think!!). But I want to use malloc. Each string is at most 50 characters long, and there may be zero to thousands of lines. How do I actually start the array? I have seen char **array etc. At first I tried char *array but I think that gives 50...

All this time I was under the illusion that I understand the concept of multi-dimensional arrays well ---- however the following code snippet belies my understanding. I had assumed all along that a declaration like: int intArray means that there is an array of pointers to int with a size of 5, each of whose elements is an array of int with a size of 3. This definition seemed intuitive to me since a declaration like

I've read the msdn doc about IEnumerable. It seems to me that IEnumerable objects are essentially wrapped-up arrays. It simply gives us the foreach convenience. Is this correct?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
