In a project, somebody pushed this line:
double (*e)[n+1] = malloc((n+1) * sizeof(*e));
Which supposedly creates a two-dimensional array of (n+1)*(n+1) doubles.
Supposedly, I say, because so far, nobody I asked could tell me what this does, exactly, nor where it originated from or why it should work (which allegedly, it does, but I'm not yet buying it).
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'd appreciate it if somebody could explain above line to me. Because personally, I'd feel much better if we'd use something we actually understand.
