Thread: storage class, arrays, functions and good layout

Code:

void mycreatedynamicstorage(int **MyArray)
{


by malloc -allocate some 2D storage for the variable above.


}

void populatestorage(int **MyArray)
{

Simply populate the sample.


}

int main(void)
{

int **MyArray;
mycreatedynamicstorage(MyArray);
populatestorage(MyArray);


}

My question comesdown to storage class. I have following set-up. The create routine works as it should and creates an array,

but when it is sent to the next function it seems that I get a segmentaion fault and it would appear the array has gone

missing. Should I use a storage class for this. Now these routines are tested and work if I dont not explicity call the arrays

in the function and place the int **MyArray out of the main and into global. Please help if you can, I would send the code, but

I amworking on Linux without a connection so have had to type in the salient points. Thanks

Just follow malloc's calling convention and do

myArray = mycreatedynamicstorage();

what do you mean malloc naming convention.
these are heavily simplified functions, i need to return more than just one array. how do you suggest I do this???

Like malloc is
p = malloc(size);

Not
malloc(p,size); // this CANNOT change p

Because it has to return a value to the calling function.
