Hello all,
After reading through chapter 6 of the faq I must admit
I'm a bit confused :-).
What I am trying to do can be explained with the following
three sample files:
var.c:
float a[2][2] = {{1.0f, 2.0f},{3.0f, 4.0f}};
var.h:
#ifndef var_h
#define var_h
extern float a**;
#endif
test.c
#include "var.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("a[0][0] = %f\n", a[0][0]);
return(0);
}
This doesn't appear to be working though since the compiler (gcc)
reports "'a' undeclared". I know from the faq that arrays and
pointers are not the same but after having tried declaring 'a' as
'extern float* a[];' and 'extern float a[][];' I've found that
the only thing which compiles is 'extern float* a[];' but this
only gives me an array of pointers to unallocated memory.
How do I do the two-dimensional thing?
Regards, Jimmy 8 2475

a is declared as the wrong type here. Even though T[] and T* are
assignment-compatible types, T[][] and T** are not. Chris Torek can
explain this in detail. You should declare this as:
extern float (*a)[2];
or:
extern float a[2][2];

Try declaring a as "extern float (*a)[];". The way you compiled it, it
was an array of pointers - you need a pointer to an array.

Change, in var.h
extern float **a;
to
extern float a[2][2];

This is a syntax error, by the way. You mean:
extern float **a;
(which is still semantically wrong, though syntactically correct).
a is declared as the wrong type here. Even though T[] and T* are assignment-compatible types, T[][] and T** are not. Chris Torek can explain this in detail. You should declare this as: extern float (*a)[2]; or: extern float a[2][2];
Only the second is a valid declaration for the array in the source
file. "Assignment-compatible" is irrelevant here. See section 6 of
the FAQ.

Try declaring a as "extern float (*a)[];". The way you compiled it, it was an array of pointers - you need a pointer to an array.
No, he needs an array of arrays.

Don't feel happy with a '[0][0]' test. Better to try with values that are not
0 :
printf("a[1][1] = %f\n", a[1][1]); /* expected : 4.0000 */
or better, to traverse the whole thing.
