Hi I am trying to construct a multidimensional array (as linear array in memory, but indexed with equations to represent the dimensions) of size 30 each, and 6 dimensions, which is 30^6=729000000 using a long type for the array crashes, as it is outside the range values. I used double long data type, and I had the above error: array subscript is not an integer Is there a work around this problem that I can implement, or another way of creating similar arrays?
If you want total target independence, maybe there is no way. If your data type is wide enough that this array exceeds 2GB, on the most common 64-bit OS, you should be able to create a dynamic array of this size. A size_t data type would make more sense than making us guess what you mean by double long. Technically, double long might be the same as long double, a floating point type unsuitable for an array subscript.
