But I get an error if I try to assign or read it, as in:

myArray = _mArray;

You can't assign (or compare) arrays in C/C++. You have two options:

(a) Call memcpy:

memcpy(&myArray, &_mArray, sizeof(myArray));

(b) Wrap a struct around the array, since structs are copyable. Drawback is that you now have to refer to the array as a named field of the struct.

typedef struct {

int [10][10]  a;

} MyArrayType;

MyArrayType myArray;

…

_mArray = myArray;

(This is a pure C issue, so a book like K&R would be helpful.)
