Answer 1

float x[size][2];

That doesn't work because declared arrays can't have runtime sizes. Try a vector:

std::vector< std::array > x(size);

Or use new

// identity::type *px = new float[size][2];
float (*px)[2] = new float[size][2];

// ... use and then delete
delete[] px;

If you don't have C++11 available, you can use boost::array instead of std::array.

If you don't have boost available, make your own array type you can stick into vector

template
struct array {
  T data[N];
  T &operator[](ptrdiff_t i) { return data[i]; }
  T const &operator[](ptrdiff_t i) const { return data[i]; }
};

For easing the syntax of new, you can use an identity template which effectively is an in-place typedef (also available in boost)

template 
struct identity {
  typedef T type;
};

If you want, you can also use a vector of std::pair

std::vector< std::pair > x(size);
// syntax: x[i].first, x[i].second
