If the address of an automatic object is assigned to another automatic object of larger scope, or to a static object, or returned from a function then the object containing the address may exist beyond the time when the original object ceases to exist (and its address becomes invalid).
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
int* f(void) {
int local_auto;
return &local_auto; // Noncompliant, returning address of an object allocated on the stack.
}
