[Users] syntax for pointers from array in Cactus?

[Bernard Kelly]

Thanks, Roland. That is what I have to do.

C does permit multi-dimensional arrays that can be indexed like
[i][j][k] (presumably without guaranteed contiguous memory
allocation), but I didn't appreciate that the Cactus ones are the
simpler flat sort (OK, I suppose I knew that for the grid functions,
but not the other kind).

Anyway, I've changed to the "flat" 1D indexing as you've indicated,
and it's compiling now. Thanks again,

Bernard
