I beleve it is not 'int *[r]', but is 'int (*)[r]'.
'int *[r]' is a array of pointer to integer,
while 'int (*)[r]' is a pointer to array of integer.

In GCC 3.3.1, following error occurs compiling the code:
void func(int r)
{
        int **a = new int [2][r];
        delete [] a;
}

a.cc: In function `void func(int)':
a.cc:3: error: cannot convert `int (*)[((r - 1) + 1)]' to `int**' in
   initialization

Does the return type of 'new int [2][r]' in GCC 3.4.0 differ from that in GCC 
3.3.1?
