x is on stack. You won't be able to access on return. Allocating on heap and then returning the pointer can be one way.

Though x is on stack we are sending content not address of x.. So no problem..

Structs are passed by value. There is no problem here.

It's better to use the pointer as the parameter of the function.e.g void foo(int * re1,char *re2,...)
