Compile Error: Functions cannot return arrays or functions

[LuckyStarr]

Hi All,

I'm a C++ newbie. I'm having a problem compiling the following code:

<code>
typedef char Message[20];

class StaticHelloWorld{
public:
static Message hello;

static void setMessage(Message message){
strcpy(hello,message);
return;
}

static Message getMessage(){
return hello;
}

};

// Definition of the static variable hello
Message StaticHelloWorld::hello = "Ueba";
</code>

The compiler says that functions cannot return arrays or functions at line "return hello;". But it seems for me that it's returning the pointer to the hello array.

So what's the problem? I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo.
