Re: Array of arrays

[Brian Lavender]

I was making it more complicated than necessary. Pointers always screw
me up! This works!

#include <glib.h>

#define NUM_ARYS 5

void load_arrays( GArray *garrays[NUM_ARYS] )
{
  gint i,j, storevalue;
  // put the load arrays stuff here.
  for (j=0; j < NUM_ARYS; j++) {
    garrays[j] = g_array_new (FALSE, FALSE, sizeof (gint));
    g_printf("Load Array %d\n", j);
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      storevalue = (i + 103) % ( (j +1) * 2 );
      g_array_append_val ( garrays[j], storevalue );
      g_print ("load idx %d value %d\n",
               i, storevalue );
    }
  }

}

int main() {
    GArray *garrays[NUM_ARYS];
  gint i,j, storevalue;

  // Change the following so that I call
  // load_arrays(garrays);
  // instead of the following

  // start
  load_arrays(garrays);

  // end



  for (j=0; j < NUM_ARYS; j++) {
    g_printf("Array %d\n", j);
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      g_print ("index %d value %d\n",
               i, g_array_index (garrays[j], gint, i));
  }

  for (j=0; j < NUM_ARYS; j++)
    g_array_free (garrays[j], TRUE);

}

"About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't
pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going
to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and
then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
