c++ - Passing 2D array by value doesn't work

I am trying to pass a 2d array to a function. I don't want the actual array to be modified. So pass it by value. But my actual 2darray is getting modified.(when i modify myArray, x is getting modified). Why is it so?

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    int x[3][3];
    x[0][0]=2;
    x[0][1]=2;
    x[0][2]=2;
    x[1][0]=2;
    x[1][1]=2;
    x[1][2]=2;
    x[2][0]=2;
    x[2][1]=2;
    x[2][2]=2;
    func1(x);
}

void func1(int myArray[][3])
{
    int i, j;
    int ROWS=3;
    int COLS=3;

     for (i=0; i<ROWS; i++)
     {
         for (j=0; j<COLS; j++)
         {
             myArray[i][j] =3;
         }
     }
}

And is it possible to pass a 2D array by value if we don't know both dimensions?.

You can take advantage of the fact that arrays in user defined types are copied and assigned when instances of that type are copied or assigned, for example

template <size_t N, size_t M>
struct Foo
{
  int data[N][M];
};

template <size_t N, size_t M>
void func1(Foo<N, M> foo)
{
  foo.data[1][2] = 42;
}

int main()
{
  Foo<3, 3> f;
  f.data[0][0]=2;
  ...
  func1(f);
}

Here, func1 has a local copy of the foo, which has its own copy of the array. I have used templates to generalize to arbitrary sizes.

Note that C++ provides the std::array template, which you could use instead of Foo, so in real code you would do something like this:

#include <array>

template <typename T, size_t N, size_t M>
void func1(std::array<std::array<T, N>, M> arr)
{
  arr[1][2] = 42;
}

int main()
{
  std::array<std::array<int, 3>, 3> a;
  a[0][0]=2;
  ...
  func1(a);
}

If you are stuck with pre-C++11 implementations, you can use either std::tr1::array (header <tr1/array> or boost::array from the boost library. It is also a nice exercise to roll out your own.
