func returning array

Code:

---

char foooo()[10]
{
        static char a[10];
        return a;
}

---

I am really screwed up! What's wrong here?

More like:

Code:

---

char* foooo()
{
        static char a[10];
        return a;
}

---

Though have you considered encapsulating this in a class instead?

so this was a syntax error? really?
when i write it like this:

Code:

---

char foooo()[10]
{
}

---

my compiler reports that the function returns array! i am using MSVS .Net 2003.

I think the problem is that functions cannot return arrays. They can, however, return pointers to arrays.
