return a struct

Hi /prog/
I'm wondering if it's legal to return a struct like the div(3) function does. Example:

typedef struct {
  int k;
  int j;
} Guybrush;

Guybrush fubar() {
  Guybrush retval;
  retval.k = 42;
  retval.j = 37;
  return retval;
}

By compiling it with gcc I don't get any error nor warning. Besides the produced assembly code is strightforward: it just uses a location in the stack of the calling procedure as storage area for the "retval" variable.

My question is: is it a good way of programming? I feel it's a little weird. Also I know it's better to exploit pointers, but this is not always a choice.

It's may! Because I fucked her yesterday night. Oh, and you're sister too.
