assume the following prototype

int poly(int n, int data[][2]);

I tried to compile something like

void do_poly(int n)
{
int **data=malloc(... n);
 ...
 poly(n, data); //call the function
 ...
}
and of course GCC warns me about the parameter type mismatch.

Q:Is there an elegant & portable way to somehow 'cast' the int **data to be 
accepted as int data[][2] (supposed it's allocated correctly) ? 
I dont like my programs containing code I will be warned about,
every time I compile it.

Thanks for your help;
