Code:
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct struct_type
{
  int something;
} struct_type;

int main(void)
{
  /* Allocate an array of 32 pointers to struct_type */
  struct_type **ptrarray;
  ptrarray=malloc(sizeof(struct_type *)*32);

  /* Do whatever */
  /* ... */
  /* Deallocate what we allocated before exiting */
  free(ptrarray);
  return(0);
}
