I recommend against using the method posted in the C++ FAQ.
It recommends you use a non-standard syntax.

If you want to use standard syntax check out the following link for an
example:
http://code.axter.com/dynamic_2d_array.h

However, for most requirements, I recommend using a vector of vector.
Example:
int col = 123;
int row = 456;
vector<vector<i nt> > My2dArray(col, vector<int>(row ));
You can reference both the above vector code and the dynamic_2d_arra y
class using double index ([][])
My2dArray[0][0] = 99;

vector:

yes,I know vector<vector<i nt> > but here

The class Piece 's purpose 's isnot just for 2D-array,it was desiged to
support some other
operation such as void draw_grahic(),
void move_left() and so on.
But I must first Encapsulate the 2d-array int piece[2][3] as private
data.
and supply operator[][] to get it's data,
is there way to overload the operator[] twice to meet my need?

If that's what you really want, just make an operator[] that returns a
proxy. Then, put another operator[] in that proxy that gives a value:

# include <vector>
# include <cstddef>

class test;

class proxy
{
friend class test;

public:
int operator[](std::size_t index)
{
return v_[index];
}

private:
proxy(std::vect or<int>& v)
: v_(v)
{
}

std::vector<int >& v_;
};
class test
{
public:
proxy operator[](std::size_t index)
{
return proxy(v_[index]);
}

private:
std::vector< std::vector<int > > v_;
};

int main()
{
test t;
int i = t[1][2];
}

This is completly artificial, since std::vector already has a subscript
operator, but you should get the picture.

Yes.
Did you look at the first link I posted?
http://code.axter.com/dynamic_2d_array.h

The above link doesn't use vector vector, and it's able to use
operator[] to return a 2D array without using a proxy class.

In an antique obsolete version of MFC, a CString expression could be subscripted in order to retrieve one element. Visual Studio 2005 defines CSimpleStringT::operator. At first glance it looks like it might have been intended to provide backwards compatibility for antique programs. But there seems to be no way to use it. CString s = _T("ab"); short i = 1; _TCHAR c = s;
