c - Trying to return an address of a local variable in a function -

i want homecoming address of variable k in function func(). here 2 functions.

main() function

#include <stdio.h> main() { int* j; int* func(); j= func(); printf("\n%d",*j); }

func() function

int* func() { static int k=30; homecoming (&k); }

i wanted int *func() homecoming address of k, next error displayed.

function returns address of local variable [-wreturn-local-addr]

return (&k);

k local variable exists within function func. returning address k not exist. undefined behavior.

you allocate dynamic memory k:

int *k = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)); *k = 30 homecoming k;

do not forget free memory in main

free(j);

c function pointers
