Reading 2d array from binary file and return the pointer this array (in C)
<p>I am trying to write a function that returns the pointer of 2d array read from a binary file. Although I compile without error there is always a segmentation fault, when I try to print one of the elements of the array. Here my code:</p>

<pre><code>double ** readArray(int rows, int cols)
{
   int i;
   double **myArray=malloc(rows*sizeof(double*));
   if (myArray){ 
      for (i=0; i &lt; rows; i++)
      {
        myArray[i]=malloc(cols*sizeof(double));
      }
   }        

   FILE *data;
   data=fopen("matrix.bin", "rb");
   fread(myArray,sizeof(double),rows*cols,data);

   return myArray; 
}

int main ()
{
  int cols = 7;
  int rows = 15;
  double **myArray=readArray(rows, cols);
  printf("%f\n", myArray[1][0]);
  return 0; 
}
</code></pre>
