I have a function that produces dynamic array of strings. I would like

array on the heap. Problem is, when I return dynamic array and try to
print it outside of the function, I see garbage in a first few elements.
My humble experience with languages like C++ doesn't really help with
understanding how Garbage Collector (if it's because of it, because if I
understand correctly, I can imagine memory being de-allocated because we
get out of scope of local variable that points to the array, thus there
are no more pointers to this memory, thus it gets de-allocated, but we
still return reference to this memory, so GC shouldn't really free it?)
can cause this - can anyone please explain me what's exactly going on
and what would be the proper way to return dynamic array from the
function? Thanks in advance.
We're going to need to see a minified version of the code to see what
you're doing.
