Malloc a 3-Dimensional array in C?

Question

I\'m translating some MATLAB code into C and the script I\'m converting makes heavy use of 3D arrays with 10*100*300 complex entries. The size of the array also depends on t

Answer 1

About the segfault, I am pretty sure someone else has pointed this out but just in case, there is a extra '*' in the first line of the first for loop

for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    *array[i] = malloc(3*sizeof(int*));
//  ^ we dont want to deference array twice
    for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
        array[i][j] = malloc(3*sizeof(int));
    }
}

try the following:

    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        array[i] = malloc(3*sizeof(int*));
        for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
            array[i][j] = malloc(3*sizeof(int));
        }
    }
