pointer and array

You aren't supposed to pass it as a char** pointer.
Why I used vector to solve all problems is because it never changes type.

Code:

std::vector< std::vector<std::string> > v;
void myfunc(std::vector< std::vector<std::string> >& v)
{
}

Same definition in the function and same argument in the called function. No pointer mess, no special syntax. And you can get the size at any time.

Yes, that's why MultiArray is the way to go.

Code:

boost::multi_array<std::string, 2> ar(4, 4);

void myfunc(boost::multi_array<std::string, 2> &ar);

Yeah, either one is fine, of course, so long as it isn't a raw array.
