Thanks for the comments, it's more or less as I suspected. The ways of
returning an arrays pointed out by Janice Caron and others seem to feel like a
'workaround' to me.

I don't quite understand why the code below does not (or cannot work). The pass
by reference semantics of arrays don't have to apply for function return do
they? It might create a special case though I suppose.


int[4][4] f()
{
    int a[4][4];
    return a;
}
