Dxf2svg: Returning pointer to local array variable

[Kris]

Cppcheck reports the error "Returning pointer to local array variable" on the extension dxf2svg (trunk revision 11052):

src\extension\dxf2svg\aci2rgb.cpp line 38
src\extension\dxf2svg\entities2elements.cpp line 145, 168, and 249

In these functions a non static variable is created and a pointer is returned. However, after the return statement the memory occupied by the local variables created in these functions is wiped, and hence, immediately after the pointer is returned this memory and variables are invalid and can not be used any more.

Solution: either dropping the pointers, looking for a solution without these pointers or converting to a class?

[Kris (kris-degussem)]

the src/extension/dxf2svg code was unused for a long time and bit rotten.
It was therefore deleted from Inkscape's source tree in trunk revision 12075.
