So it's my understanding that returning pointers to local variables in C is UB. However when using Vulkan I've encountered this pattern:

VkShaderModule create_shader(
VkDevice device,
const std::vector<char>& shader_code)
{
VkShaderModuleCreateInfo create_info {};
create_info.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SHADER_MODULE_CREATE_INFO;
create_info.codeSize = shader_code.size();
create_info.pCode = static_cast<const uint32_t*>(
static_cast<const void*>(shader_code.data()));

VkShaderModule shader_module {};
auto rv = vkCreateShaderModule(device,
&create_info,
nullptr,
&shader_module);
if (rv != VK_SUCCESS)
{
throw std::runtime_error("Failed to create shader module");
}

return shader_module;
}


Where VkShaderModule is a typedef struct VkShaderModule_T* VkShaderModule;

Why exactly does this work? Is it because the memory for VkShaderModule lives somewhere else? I'm not clear on this.
