While it is possible to declare it in one step, I would prefer splitting 
it up with a type definition.  Then it is easier to read and you don't 
have to retype parts of the declaration when getting the size to 
allocate.

----

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef char* A[32];
A *list;

int main(void)
{
    list = calloc(1, sizeof(A));
    *list[3] = "hello";
    puts(*list[3]);
    free(list);
    return 0;
}

Of course a more meaningful name than `A` should be used.
