I guess they mean exactly the same, because declaring a variable int a[]
is pretty equal to declaring int ** a. I've seen char * argv[] and
char** argv being used many times without problems. I think they are
also compiled in the same way, but maybe you should try to compile to
assembly code to figure it out.
