This would be incredibly hazardous to pass around as a bare pointer with no context, though. I’d expect to see this in a struct that, at minimum, also includes fields for the size of each dimension.
In the C programming language. Or do you mean which C project specifically? Because as Technus surmises in their response, it’s usually a better idea to set up aliases (typedefs or heck, even #defines) so that you’re offloading some of the mental strain keeping track of the layers, and that’s likely to be what happens in production code.
Dynamically allocated multidimensional arrays.
Ah right, so that would be a 3D array.
