Question 9781 – Data-Structures

Consider the following three C functions:

[PI]            int*g(void) 
             { 
                int x = 10; 
                return(&x); 
             }  
    
[P2]            int*g(void) 
             { 
                int*px; 
                *px = 10; 
                return px; 
             } 
    
[P3]            int*g(void) 
             { 
                int*px; 
                px = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int)); 
                *px = 10; 
                return px; 
             } 

Which of the above three functions are likely to cause problems with pointers?

Correct Answer: C
