首先使用指针定义数组(第1行):

int** a = new int* [x];     //x is the number of rows
for(int i = 0; i < x; i++)
    a[i] = new int[y];     //y is the number of columns

如果只在本地或类中使用数组，则可以使用lambda表达式创建类数组对象。

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  srand(time(0));
  int w = rand() % 20 + 10;
  int h = rand() % 20 + 10;
  {
    // Here. Only one line and no memory leak.
    auto arr = [=, p = std::make_unique<int[]>(w * h)](int i, int j) -> int & { return *&p[i * w + j]; };
    arr(1, 0) = 6;
    std::cout << arr(1, 0) << '\n';
  }
}

该对象与int[][]不兼容，要将其作为参数传递，需要模板。但是当你访问一个元素时，它可以让你摆脱正确获取[i * w + j]的麻烦。

你也可以使用一个裸std::unique_ptr<int[]>和一个在lambda中实现的getter。但你可能会犯错误，引用不明确。

Typedef是你的朋友

在回顾并查看了许多其他答案之后，我发现需要进行更深层次的解释，因为许多其他答案要么存在性能问题，要么迫使您使用不寻常的或繁重的语法来声明数组，或访问数组元素(或以上所有问题)。

首先，这个答案假设您在编译时知道数组的尺寸。如果你这样做，那么这是最好的解决方案，因为它将提供最好的性能，并允许您使用标准数组语法来访问数组元素。

The reason this gives the best performance is because it allocates all of the arrays as a contiguous block of memory meaning that you are likely to have less page misses and better spacial locality. Allocating in a loop may cause the individual arrays to end up scattered on multiple non-contiguous pages through the virtual memory space as the allocation loop could be interrupted ( possibly multiple times ) by other threads or processes, or simply due to the discretion of the allocator filling in small, empty memory blocks it happens to have available.

其他好处是声明语法简单，数组访问语法标准。

在c++中使用new:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

typedef double (array5k_t)[5000];

array5k_t *array5k = new array5k_t[5000];

array5k[4999][4999] = 10;
printf("array5k[4999][4999] == %f\n", array5k[4999][4999]);

return 0;
}

或使用calloc的C样式:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

typedef double (*array5k_t)[5000];

array5k_t array5k = calloc(5000, sizeof(double)*5000);

array5k[4999][4999] = 10;
printf("array5k[4999][4999] == %f\n", array5k[4999][4999]);

return 0;
}

我使用这个不优雅，但快速，简单和工作系统。我不明白为什么不能工作，因为系统允许创建一个大尺寸数组和访问部分的唯一方法是不切割它的部分:

#define DIM 3
#define WORMS 50000 //gusanos

void halla_centros_V000(double CENW[][DIM])
{
    CENW[i][j]=...
    ...
}


int main()
{
    double *CENW_MEM=new double[WORMS*DIM];
    double (*CENW)[DIM];
    CENW=(double (*)[3]) &CENW_MEM[0];
    halla_centros_V000(CENW);
    delete[] CENW_MEM;
}

试着这样做:

int **ary = new int* [sizeY];
for (int i = 0; i < sizeY; i++)
    ary[i] = new int[sizeX];

这个问题困扰了我15年，所有的解决方案都不能让我满意。如何在内存中连续创建动态多维数组?今天我终于找到了答案。使用下面的代码，你可以做到这一点:

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    if (argc != 3)
    {
        std::cerr << "You have to specify the two array dimensions" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    int sizeX, sizeY;

    sizeX = std::stoi(argv[1]);
    sizeY = std::stoi(argv[2]);

    if (sizeX <= 0)
    {
        std::cerr << "Invalid dimension x" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }
    if (sizeY <= 0)
    {
        std::cerr << "Invalid dimension y" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /******** Create a two dimensional dynamic array in continuous memory ******
     *
     * - Define the pointer holding the array
     * - Allocate memory for the array (linear)
     * - Allocate memory for the pointers inside the array
     * - Assign the pointers inside the array the corresponding addresses
     *   in the linear array
     **************************************************************************/

    // The resulting array
    unsigned int** array2d;

    // Linear memory allocation
    unsigned int* temp = new unsigned int[sizeX * sizeY];

    // These are the important steps:
    // Allocate the pointers inside the array,
    // which will be used to index the linear memory
    array2d = new unsigned int*[sizeY];

    // Let the pointers inside the array point to the correct memory addresses
    for (int i = 0; i < sizeY; ++i)
    {
        array2d[i] = (temp + i * sizeX);
    }



    // Fill the array with ascending numbers
    for (int y = 0; y < sizeY; ++y)
    {
        for (int x = 0; x < sizeX; ++x)
        {
            array2d[y][x] = x + y * sizeX;
        }
    }



    // Code for testing
    // Print the addresses
    for (int y = 0; y < sizeY; ++y)
    {
        for (int x = 0; x < sizeX; ++x)
        {
            std::cout << std::hex << &(array2d[y][x]) << ' ';
        }
    }
    std::cout << "\n\n";

    // Print the array
    for (int y = 0; y < sizeY; ++y)
    {
        std::cout << std::hex << &(array2d[y][0]) << std::dec;
        std::cout << ": ";
        for (int x = 0; x < sizeX; ++x)
        {
            std::cout << array2d[y][x] << ' ';
        }
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }



    // Free memory
    delete[] array2d[0];
    delete[] array2d;
    array2d = nullptr;

    return 0;
}

当你调用sizeX=20和sizeey =15值的程序时，输出将如下:

可以看到，多维数组在内存中是连续的，没有两个内存地址是重叠的。甚至释放数组的例程也比为每一列(或行，取决于如何查看数组)动态分配内存的标准方法简单。由于数组基本上由两个线性数组组成，只有这两个必须(并且可以)被释放。

这种方法可以用相同的概念扩展到二维以上的空间。我在这里不做了，但是当你理解了它背后的思想，它是一个简单的任务。

我希望这段代码能像帮助我一样帮助你。
