Problem while creating 2D array at run time.

Hi all,
I have a macros and a method like below for creating 2D array from local variable,

#define CREATE_2D_ARRAY(dest, source, dim1, dim2)\
{\
	dest = new int*[dim1] ; \
	for(int _i = 0; _i < dim1; _i++) \
{\
	dest[_i] = create1DArray( source[_i], dim2 ) ; \
}\
}

template <class Ttype>Ttype* create1DArray(Ttype* source, const int length)
{
	if (length == 0)
	{
		return NULL ;
	}
	Ttype* dest = new Ttype[length] ;
	for(int _i = 0; _i < length; _i++)
	{
		dest[_i] = source[_i];
	}
	return dest;

}

Example:

int _temp[2][2] = 
	{
		{
			2,
			3,
		},
		{
			4,
			5,
		},
	};
int**  rids;
CREATE_2D_ARRAY(rids , _temp , 2,2);



But for the same example if i use following macros it is crashing can any one please tell me the reason???

}\
}

#define CREATE_1D_ARRAY(dest, source, dim1)\
{\
	dest = new int[dim1] ; \
	for(int _i = 0; _i < dim1; _i++) \
{\
	dest[_i] = source[_i];\
}\
}

Both macros use _i as a variable name, so when you "invoke" CREATE_1D_ARRAY from CREATE_2D_ARRAY, 2D's _i is shadowed by 1D's.
