Probably, but you can have pointers to array types in C which is what the posted type used. Humans pass arrays in C by passing a pointer to the first element. Pointers to arrays therefore crop up when passing 2D (or higher) arrays, even when the code is hand written by a person. -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
