Proper ways of returning dynamically allocated 2D array

[msrumon]

Problem is in this file. I have created algorithms for creating 2D arrays on-the-fly & printing a 2D array w/ functions. But they are not functioning as expected. To test it, I have created the following snippet (named TEST.c):

#include "./lib/matrix.h"

void main()
{
  /**
   * Test run 01
   */
  int test1[3][3];
  test1[0][0] = 1;
  test1[0][1] = 2;
  test1[0][2] = 3;
  test1[1][0] = 4;
  test1[1][1] = 5;
  test1[1][2] = 6;
  test1[2][0] = 7;
  test1[2][1] = 8;
  test1[2][2] = 9;
  spit(test1, 3, 3, "Spitting test-1:");

  /**
   * Test run 02
   */
  int **test2 = take(3, 3, "Taking test-2:");
  printf("\nPrinting test-2:\n");
  for (int r = 0; r < 3; r++)
  {
    printf("|");

    for (int c = 0; c < 3; c++)
    {
      if (c == 2)
        printf("%d", *((test2 + r) + c));
      else
        printf("%d\t", *((test2 + r) + c));
    }

    printf("|\n");
  }
}

And I get the following result:

TEST.c: In function 'main':
TEST.c:18:8: warning: passing argument 1 of 'spit' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
   spit(test1, 3, 3, "Spitting test-1:");
        ^~~~~
In file included from TEST.c:1:
./lib/matrix.h:35:17: note: expected 'int **' but argument is of type 'int (*)[3]'
 void spit(int **matrix, const unsigned row, const unsigned column, const char *message)
           ~~~~~~^~~~~~

Spitting test-1: 
|1      3       5|
|3      5       7|
|5      7       9|

Taking test-2:
a11: 1
a12: 2
a13: 3
a21: 4
a22: 5
a23: 6
a31: 7
a32: 8
a33: 9

Printing test-2:
|1      4       7|
|4      7       8|
|7      8       9|

Need someone to help me out. If you are one of the experts, send a PR please.

Moved away from pointer concept. But that's not satisfying, needs to refactor.
