RE: How to pass 2D variable-sized arrays in C++?

["Jason Mancini" <jayrusman at hotmail dot com>]

Hi again,
After many tries, I propose that this is the "correct solution".
The compiler should hide the address calculation for me -- this
is why we have compilers after all!
Thanks,
Jason Mancini


void func(int c, int r, float *fa)
{
 float (*f)[c] = (float (*)[c])fa;
 ... f[xr][xc] ...
}

main()
{
 int c = 5, r = 4;
 float f[r][c];
 func(c, r, &f[0][0]);
}


-------------------------------

The second problem is that it might not do what you expect when you
want to use it in the usual notation f[i][j] which is actually
equivalent to (*(*(f+i)+j)).

The correct solution is to use it like so:

void print_mn (int m, int n, float *f)
{
for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
cout << f[i*n+j] << '\t';
}
cout << endl;
}
}

float[4][5] f;
print_mn (4, 5, &f[0][0]);
