 | 
						|
<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.
