Using an initializer list for a 2D C style array in C++

Vote count:

0

I want to initialize a 2D array using the {} initializer but can't get it to work:

int** spiral = new int*[1001]{new int[1001] {0}};

The first row gets allocated and initialized to 0 but none of the other rows do.

This works but I'm pretty sure I can do this without a loop:

int** spiral = new int*[1001];
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1001; i++)
    spiral[i] = new int[1001] {0};

What am I missing here?
