Re: [Dev-C++] pointer to a string

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Don't try to write functions that return arrays.

Note that in C/C++, a pointer and an array is alsmost the same thing from
a language perspective. The array name is always returned as a pointer to
the first element in the array...

Exactly what problem are you trying to solve?

Let the function return a pointer to a string, and let the receiver accept
this string. Why do you care about an array size?
