return reference to local variable, good code?

[George2]

Hello everyone,
I am reading some code from other people, there are some code like
this,

class Foo {
 
};
 
Foo& func()
{
Foo foo;
return foo;
}
 
int main()
{
Foo& foo = func();
 
return 0;
}
 

I want to confirm with you that it is not good code, since we return a
reference to local object instance, right? Even if the code has
expected function currently.
thanks in advance,
George

I'm afraid this code can not be compiled. To return a reference of
local non-static object is not allowed.

It seems the connection problems are protocol-dependent.

Although I can't read my mail (GMail), I can read the New York Times,
but pinging that server fails:
