SAFEARRAY problem

this code works fine if i create a 2 or 3 dimensional array.
but if i try to make a safearray with 9 dimension m_parray goes to NULL.

I dont know if i'm doing something wrong or simply Safearrays
doesn't support more than 3 dimensions.
Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

SAFEARRAYBOUND *arrayBounds;
long nDims = 9;

arrayBounds = new SAFEARRAYBOUND [nDims];

for ( i = 0; i < nDims; i++ ) {
arrayBounds[i].lLbound = 0;
arrayBounds[i].cElements = 15
}

SAFEARRAY *m_parray = SafeArrayCreate(VT_VARIANT, nDims, arrayBounds); // m_parray is NULL after the call

Only thing I can think of is that there is no enough memory to create the 9-D array.

It's because of 15*15*...*15 (9 times) of byte array is already great than 38GB memory. But you have the VARAINT array for which it's required more than 600GB. Be easier.

I don't know exactly what you want, this code will run:

SAFEARRAYBOUND *arrayBounds;
ong nDims = 19;

arrayBounds = new SAFEARRAYBOUND [1];

arrayBounds[0].lLbound = 0;
arrayBounds[0].cElements = 15;

SAFEARRAY *m_parray = SafeArrayCreate(VT_VARIANT, nDims, arrayBounds);
