- OK (whatever)... Read Gail, and her husband's, Anderson's book called
- "Advanced C tips & techniques" chapter 3 (best chapter of ANY book I
- ever saw in my life) and you will see that in C/C++, "There's no such
- thing as an array" as everything is an address or a pointer to an address
- of somekind...
-
- If you want, you can go crazy with "**************p", but I'm sure your
- employer's would consider you to be a trouble-maker and fire you on
- the spot... In my applications, I have never had a need to go deeper
- than 3 dimension (and even with 3 dimensions, you should be prepared
- to justify your reason with your boss) and ONLY had a need to go
- "****p" when passing a pointer to a 3-D storage segment to a method...
