下面的例子可能会有所帮助，

int main(void)
{
    double **a2d = new double*[5]; 
    /* initializing Number of rows, in this case 5 rows) */
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        a2d[i] = new double[3]; /* initializing Number of columns, in this case 3 columns */
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
        {
            a2d[i][j] = 1; /* Assigning value 1 to all elements */
        }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
        {
            cout << a2d[i][j] << endl;  /* Printing all elements to verify all elements have been correctly assigned or not */
        }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        delete[] a2d[i];

    delete[] a2d;


    return 0;
}

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;
}

这是一个老答案，但我喜欢在c++中这样定义动态数组

int sizeY,sizeX = 10;
 //declaring dynamic 2d array:
    int **ary = new int*[sizeY];
    for (int i = 0; i < sizeY; i++) 
    {
     ary[i] = new int[sizeX];
   }

您可以像这样在运行时更改大小。 这是在c++ 98中测试的

这里，我有两个选择。第一个展示了数组的数组或指针的指针的概念。我更喜欢第二个，因为地址是连续的，正如您在图像中看到的那样。

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main(){

    int **arr_01,**arr_02,i,j,rows=4,cols=5;

    //Implementation 1
    arr_01=new int*[rows];

    for(int i=0;i<rows;i++)
        arr_01[i]=new int[cols];

    for(i=0;i<rows;i++){
        for(j=0;j<cols;j++)
            cout << arr_01[i]+j << " " ;
        cout << endl;
    }


    for(int i=0;i<rows;i++)
        delete[] arr_01[i];
    delete[] arr_01;


    cout << endl;
    //Implementation 2
    arr_02=new int*[rows];
    arr_02[0]=new int[rows*cols];
    for(int i=1;i<rows;i++)
        arr_02[i]=arr_02[0]+cols*i;

    for(int i=0;i<rows;i++){
        for(int j=0;j<cols;j++)
            cout << arr_02[i]+j << " " ;
        cout << endl;
    }

    delete[] arr_02[0];
    delete[] arr_02;


    return 0;
}

如果你想要一个2d的整数数组，它的元素在内存中是按顺序分配的，你必须像这样声明它

int (*intPtr)[n] = new int[x][n]

你可以用任何维数来代替x，但是n在两个地方必须相等。例子

int (*intPtr)[8] = new int[75][8];
intPtr[5][5] = 6;
cout<<intPtr[0][45]<<endl;

必须打印6。

int** ary = new int[sizeY][sizeX]

应该是:

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

然后清理是:

for(int i = 0; i < sizeY; ++i) {
    delete [] ary[i];
}
delete [] ary;

编辑:正如Dietrich Epp在评论中指出的那样，这并不是一个轻量级的解决方案。另一种方法是使用一个大内存块:

int *ary = new int[sizeX*sizeY];

// ary[i][j] is then rewritten as
ary[i*sizeY+j]
