You can't return an array directly out of a function like that, but
you can return a pointer to an array. Make you sure you properly
allocate memory for the array, of course, and be careful of returning
a pointer to an array created locally inside the function.
There are better C++ ways of doing this, of course, like wrapping the
array with a class and returning the object of that class.
