This is slightly off topic but please help.


I want to do something like this:
  a->b[i].d[j] = &(a->c[k]);  /* the &() is wrong, I get a sigsev fault */

where "d" is an array of pointers
  and "c" is an aray of integers

How do I make d[j] point to the address of b[k]?

Please don't recommend I abolish "a", although that does make the assignment 
operation simpler (I've done it before, it's b[i].d[j] = &c[k]).

The nested properties of this structure are required for my program as it 
makes the rest of the program simpler, though longer :-)

Thank you for your time,
