+<a name="index-C-multi_002ddimensional-arrays"></a>
+
+<p>A multi-dimensional array whose size is declared at compile time in C
+is <em>already</em> in row-major order.  You don&rsquo;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, &amp;data[0][0][0], &amp;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 (&ldquo;automatic&rdquo; 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_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).  Instead, we recommend
+using <code>fftw_malloc</code>, as described below.
