Hello,

What is the right way to create a 2D array to pass to a c-function that expects **arr?

I tried:

  (defun make-matrix (lisp-mat)
    "Creates a two-dimensional c array, initializes with lisp matrix"
    (let* ((x-dim (array-dimension lisp-mat 0))
           (y-dim (array-dimension lisp-mat 1))
           (c-mat (foreign-alloc :pointer :count y-dim)))
      (dotimes (y y-dim)
        (let ((cur (foreign-alloc :double :count x-dim)))
          (setf (mem-aref c-mat :pointer y) cur)
          (dotimes (x x-dim)
(setf (mem-aref cur :double y) (coerce (aref lisp-mat x y) 'double-float)))))
      c-mat))

To pass the argument z to the c-function:

c_plmesh(PLFLT *x, PLFLT *y, PLFLT **z, PLINT nx, PLINT ny, PLINT opt);

(PLFLT is of type double & PLINT is of type int)

But some of the values appear to get mangled in transit.

Thanks,
-Hazen
