3D Jagged Array

[dawn spruce]

Hey. How would I go about creating a 3D jagged array in C that's dynamically allocated? I've created a 2D dynamically allocated jagged array so I'm guessing it shouldn't be too different.

This is my thought process:

some_struct ***ptr;
int *size1 // keeps track of how many ptr[i]
int *size2 // keeps track of how many ptr[i][j]

Allocate memory for size1 and allocate memory for ptr based on some value (say 3) 

for i 0 -> 5
   Allocate memory for ptr[i]
Allocate memory for size2 (5)

for i 0 -> 5
    for j 0 -> 4 
        Allocate memory for ptr[i][j]

... do stuff with ptr
