Exchanging two dimensional array?

[Iainmon]

I have a class that takes in a 2d array of i32 values. Here is my code:

export class Kernel {

    public size: i32;
    public margin: i32;

    public multipliers: Array<Array<i32>>;
    public products: Array<Array<i32>>;

    constructor(multipliers: Array<Array<i32>>) {
    ...
    }

    public getAverage(): i32 {
    ...
    }

    public iterate(grid: Array<Array<i32>>): Array<Array<i32>> {
    ...
    }
}

This is how I am trying to instantiate it:

const kernelMultipliers = [
    [1, 1, 1],
    [1, 1, 1],
    [1, 1, 1]
];

let ptr = module.__retain(module.__allocArray(module.INT32ARRAY, kernelMultipliers));
let kernel = new module.exports.Kernel(ptr);

Is there a way that I can allocate a 2d array of values? If not, is there an elegant way that I can allocate each 1d array, and pass in an array of Array<i32> pointers to the class constructor?

Edit: I guess I could flatten the 2D array, and then pass in the width, but I am hoping that there is a better solution.

Try to allocate the inner arrays of integers first, and then allocate the outer array of arrays of integers, for example using these ids:

export const INNER_ID = idof<i32[]>();
export const OUTER_ID = idof<i32[][]>();

let ptr = module.__retain(
  module.__allocArray(module.OUTER_ID,
    kernelMultipliers.map(row => module.__allocArray(module.INNER_ID, row))
  )
);
let kernel = new module.Kernel(ptr);
module.__release(ptr); // unless you still need it externally

But if you need real performance always much better using flatten 2d arrays
