[emboss-dev] 2d array questions

[Jon Ison]

Dear Martin

ajInt2dElemExists and ajInt2dLenElem are indeed removed.

If you use ajInt2dNew or ajInt2dNewL you'll get the first
dimension of your array.  Subsequent calls to ajInt2dPut
will allocate in the second dimension (your array can be
ragged).  All memory allocation is done for you, however the
application code shouldn't ever ajInt2dGet an element it hasn't
first ajInt2dPut a value into (errors otherwise).  A safe bet
if you know your second dimensions up front is to call ajInt2dPut
to initialise your array, e.g.

for(x=0;x<dim1;x++)
  ajInt2dPut(&myarr, x, dim2[x], 0);

or some such (for a ragged array).

Does that help?

Cheers

Jon
