								<p>A multi-dimensional array whose size is declared at compile time in C
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is <em>already</em> in row-major order.  You don’t have to do anything
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								special to transform it.  For example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<div class="example">
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="example">{
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     fftw_complex data[N0][N1][N2];
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     fftw_plan plan;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     ...
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								     plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(N0, N1, N2, &data[0][0][0], &data[0][0][0],
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                             FFTW_FORWARD, FFTW_ESTIMATE);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}
							 |

								 | 
							
								</pre></div>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>This will plan a 3d in-place transform of size <code>N0 x N1 x N2</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Notice how we took the address of the zero-th element to pass to the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								planner (we could also have used a typecast).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>However, we tend to <em>discourage</em> users from declaring their
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								arrays in this way, for two reasons.  First, this allocates the array
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								on the stack (“automatic” storage), which has a very limited size on
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								most operating systems (declaring an array with more than a few
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								thousand elements will often cause a crash).  (You can get around this
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								limitation on many systems by declaring the array as
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>static</code> and/or global, but that has its own drawbacks.)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Second, it may not optimally align the array for use with a SIMD
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								FFTW (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).  Instead, we recommend
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								using <code>fftw_malloc</code>, as described below.
							 | 
						||
|
