Good day.
I have this, near equal code:

1
2
3

5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

char *rs1 (const char *str)
{
  char res1[6];
  strncpy(res1,str,3);
  res1[3]='\0';
  return res1;
}

char *rs2 (const char *str)
{
  char *res2 = new char[6];
  strncpy(res2,str,3);
  res2[3]='\0';
  return res2;
}

int main ()
{
  char str[] ="+OK 1 523\r\n";

  puts(rs1(str));
  puts(rs2(str));

  return 0;
}


But console output differs! Can you plz explain why?? Thanks in advance.

I guess this is wrong, you're returning local variable. Change this function as

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
char *rs1 (const char *str)
{
  char *res1 = new char[6];
  strncpy(res1,str,3);
  res1[3]='\0';
  return res1;
}
