The way I read that passage is that *cam_xyz is of type double[3] and
*(*cam_xyz) is of type 'double', but it doesn't say anything about
dereferencing the pointer &(*(*cam_xyz)) beyond any limits. This also
raises the question of whether is valid to initialize a
multidimensional array with memset as memset(&cam_xyz[0][0], 0,
sizeof(cam_xyz)).
