In the C programming language. Or do you mean which C project specifically? Because as Technus surmises in their response, it's usually a better idea to set up aliases (typedefs or heck, even #defines) so that you're offloading some of the mental strain keeping track of the layers, and that's likely to be what happens in production code. But the underlying data type is still T***.

    Yeah, that: where you need multidimensional arrays dynamically allocated. And like i thought; more of a bad pattern. The purpose of a higher level language is to decrease mental load, no? Well, there’s likely some niche usecases i can’t imagine too; i’m not a C++ dev.
