Wrong according ISO C++,   but not according GCC

Which compiler are you talking about ?

Yes, of course, you can't return a pointer to something which is allocated on 
the stack,  but this is not specific to dynamic array.

And, even if you can return a QVarLengthArray  I would not recommend it since 
it will do a deep copy. QVector should be used in that case.
