  12. I am working with a set of functions that operate on variable-sized
  13. square matrices. Currently, I pass a one-dimensional array to these
  14. functions filled/accessed in the order that a 2D array would be
  15. filled. Is this portable and safe ? 
  16.  
  17. Alternately, I could modify all the functions to accept square 
  18. matrices of a fixed size, with an additional parameter to specify the 
  19. current size. 
  20.  
  21. Which would you say is the most acceptable ? I have seen examples of 
  22. professional code using both methods.
