Hi,
I have written an article declaring and using multi-dimensional
pointers in C++. The article tries to address many of the issues
related to multi-dimensional pointers.

Article link:
http://www.geocities.com/varunhostel/TechnicalArticles/PointerArticle/PointerArticle_Intro.html

Some of the questions answered in the article are:

Chapter 9: How do I dynamically allocate memory for a 3-dimensional
pointer equivalent to an array a[2][3][4]?
Chapter 6: To what extent can I inter-change pointer and array syntax
in C++?
Chapter 11: How do I decipher very long function pointer declarations?
Is there a standard approach for it?
Chapter 11: What is the difference between the two declarations: int
*ptr[5] and int (*ptr) [5]?


I wanted the above topics in the article to be validated by a more
experienced person. I expect that there could be a few subtle
complications that I have missed out on. Please respond
enthusuastically and e-mail your responses or just post in the forum.

Thanks,
Varun Sud

For what it's worth, since the multidimensional array support in C++ is very
similar to that of C, there are some sections of the comp.lang.c FAQ that
address the same topic:

Also, as a matter of style, I would avoid using the word "chapter" for such
small sections of text (just take out the "Chapter X:" and leave the
headings as section headings) and I would definitely replace your example
images with HTML text, so that they load more quickly, can be adjusted in
size, and can be copied. The easiest way to do this is to copy the code from
Visual Studio, paste it in Microsoft Word, Save as Web Page, and then copy
the HTML from this file to yours. I hope this helps.
