This won't work I suspect, because the variable "str" will disappear
as soon as the function exits!  So you are returning a pointer to a
soon-to-be-non-existant object.  A better way to do it is as
follows:

double *ghd(....) {
double* dPtr=new double[50];
........
........
return dPtr;
}

or something like that.

Cheers,

Mark.
