That doesn't solve the "use after free" problem, so not memory safe (as long as not combined with something else).

What is the "use after free" problem? A function leaves the computed result on the stack or modifies data higher in the stack. There are no pointers, nothing to free.

If you return a pointer from a function that points to a stack local variable, it'll be invalid. Generally this is easy ish to detect though.

In this stack only scheme there are no pointers. Function leaves its returned data at the top of the stack.
