Hi
I have a 2 dimensional array allocated as a contiguous chunk of
memory, as described in Question 6.16 in the FAQ (i.e. in the manner
of array 2 on the page http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q6.16.html).
I have a function declared as func(..., array[],...) and I wish to
pass my 2D array to that function. As I understand it, this should be
allowable since the 2D array is contiguous in memory, and if i
therefore call it as func(..., my2darray[0], ...) the data types
should match (double * in both cases). Is this the correct way to do
this?
Many thanks

Should work, but this makes it look like you are trying to conform to the
f2c version of Fortran 77, rather than programming to the style of any
programming language.

Yes, this is fine with the definition as in FAQ 6.16:
int **array2 = (int **)malloc(nrows * sizeof(int *));
array2[0] = (int *)malloc(nrows * ncolumns * sizeof(int));
However, if it were a normal array with a definition like:
double my2darray[4][7];
The expression my2darray[0] has type 'double[7]' or 'array of 7 double'.
It is undefined behaviour to attempt to access beyond the 7th element
of my2darray[0], that is beyond my2darray[0][6], so you're not supposed
to access the whole of my2darray through my2darray[0].
This could generate problems on a really good bounds-checking
implementation of C. Most implementations won't catch it though.

Hi, I'm trying to use the HDF library to read a few HDF files that I
need to process. The data in each file varies in rows, but the
columns remain constant. Because of that, I had dynamically allocated
a set of
pointer to pointers as my multi-dimensional arrays. Here is my code (i
have omitted checking calloc's return value to make this shorter):
int **filter;
filter = calloc( ylength, sizeof(int*) );

I'm sure I'm missing something simple - I do not code in C regularly, and
the breaks are long enough for me to forget.
The situation I have is I need to create an array but I do not know the
dimension until runtime. I pass the pointer to a function which then
determines the size and then creates and populates it. I can walk the array
OK in the function, but the app crashes when I try to do so in the calling
routine.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
