The problem is that:
a) I don't know the size at compile time.
b) Once initialized, the array's size stays constant, so vector would be 
overkill.
Actually what I really want to do is:

map<int, int[]>

in an elegant and safe way.
Oh well, I'll have to go with map<int, void*> or make a struct to hold 
the size of a c array.

Thanks for the answer,
