...like returning a pointer to the stack:

    char *dupstr(const char *src) {
       char new[1024];
       strlcpy(new, src, 1024);
       return new;
    }

stack_ret.c:5:10: warning: function returns address of local variable [-Wreturn-local-addr] return new;

Why is this a warning and not an error? Are there situations in which you would want to return the address of a local variable?
