You should always post code that actually *compiles* rather than typing
at as you go. (For instance, the name 'temp' is undeclared there.)

Anyways, I don't see what causes the error message (probably something
you *didn't* write above), but I do know that you are returning a reference
to a temporary, which is erroneous. (Undefined behavior, may cause the
program to crash or misbehave in some othe rway.)
