Array...so that I can Add more Element to Array....

Check out the FAQ, in particular question 6.16:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q6.16.html

Regarding the final option given there (pointers to arrays) the FAQ says
that "at most one dimension may be specified at run time".

That's no longer true with C99, and my money's on this as the best option
in the case of C99. The advantage it has is that the array's storage
layout is exactly the same as that of a static array with the same
dimension sizes, and there is no need to allocate arrays of pointers. So
you save space and you maintain compatibility with existing code that may
for some reason access the array contents in a way other than normal array
indexing.

How is the array defined, and how is it accessed?

It may be as simple as replacing the global array definition with a
global definition of a pointer to that type, and allocating memory for
it early on in main(). Then again, it may not be that simple.

You need to provide more information.

Dynamaic Memory verses static

by: J Anderson | last post by:

Greetings, I was going through the quake2 source code (as you do) when I noticed arrays are statically allocated on the stack instead of being allocated dynamically. I’ve seen this before and know it’s for efficiency. I’m basically questioning the merit of such technique nowadays, for performance-orientated applications? Is it better to dynamically allocate a smaller array to fit the memory or to use one huge statically allocated...

Mystery: static variables & performance

by: Mark Shelor | last post by:

I've encountered a troublesome inconsistency in the C-language Perl extension I've written for CPAN (Digest::SHA). The problem involves the use of a static array within a performance-critical transform function. When compiling under gcc on my big-endian PowerPC (Mac OS X), declaring this array as "static" DECREASES the transform throughput by around 5%. However, declaring it as "static" on gcc/Linux/Intel INCREASES the throughput by...

Can a static array contain a dynamic array of pointers?

The latest project in my ongoing quest to evolve my brain from Pascal to C is a simple word game that involves stringing together random lists of words. In the Pascal version the whole array was static; if the input file contained more than entries, tough. This time I want to do it right - use a dynamic array that increases in size with each word read from the file. A few test programs that make use of **List and realloc( List, blah...
