"int foo[2][6];" is a declaration that says foo is a pointer to an array of 6
ints.  If this is a variable declaration, it is a constant pointing at an area
of memory large enough to hold two such arrays.  If it is a parameter
declaration, it isn't pointing at anything in particular, and no memory is
allocated.  C doesn't support multi-dimensional arrays, it supports arrays of
arrays, which isn't the quite the same thing.  Given "int foo[2][3];", foo[1]
is an array of three ints, stored consecutively ( that is *foo[1] == foo[1][0],
*foo[1]+1 == foo[1][1]), so obviously it is in column-major order.
