I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out what seems to be a
pretty basic scenario: declaring a multidimensional array in the
interface section of a class when the array dimensions are unknown
until runtime. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this one?

If you mean C arrays, AFAIK you can't. C99 spec'ed variable length arrays
(VLAs) don't work that way. It will work out, IIRC, that you can only use
them as stack variables. And not static ones either. I believe it's because
of the initialization rule for VLAs.


Beyond that, the compiler must know the size of instance of an Objective-C class at compilation time. This restriction is reduced slightly in 64 bit, but not entirely.
