My dynamic 2D array recipe:


int (*foo)[ysize] = malloc (xsize*ysize*sizeof(int));
/* Mallocked memory for the array and assigned to foo, which is of type
   pointer to array of ysize ints. */
/* Check for NULL */
/* ... */
foo[x][y] = bar;
/* ... */
free(foo);

As for C++, it ought to be possible (at least with gnu) to use

foo = new int[y][x];
/* ... */
delete [] foo;

(is it?)
