Thread: copying an **int array passed through parameters

Is there any other way to copy an array or rather 'pass by value'?

Heres what im currently doing, I do not like it much... (I need to work with the data in array but I can't have it changed once the method returns.

Code:

int dijkstra(int buildings,int **tempEdges)
{
    //crude way of copying an array
  	int **edges;
	edges = new int*[buildings+1];
	for(int i=0;i <= buildings;++i)
		edges[i] = new int[buildings+1];
	for(int i=0;i <= buildings;++i)
	for(int j=0;j <= buildings;++j)
		edges[i][j] = tempEdges[i][j];

//jumble array around to work with it
//return value
}

Any ideas?
