I'm more talking about theory than practical.

I've not developed anything in C/C++, so I don't know practical uses for a double pointer, aside from multidimensional arrays, or arrays of pointers

My point was that, conceptually, pointers to pointers is how most complex data structures work. Even if the C representation of said code doesn't have a int** somewhere
