Sorry mis-phrased my question,
Who do you allocate a pointer to an associative
array(int[string]*).
Ignoring the why for a moment, one trick is to place it in an
array literal so it's heap allocated. This requires writing an
associative array literal with a single key-element pair though.
int[string]* a = [["zero":0]].ptr;
Another trick is to initially define the associative array in a
class. Since classes are heap allocated, you can allocate an
instance of the class and grab a pointer to the associative array.
class HeapAA
{
int[string] a;
}
int[string]*b = &(new HeapAA).a;
