The correct definition is

typedef int array_di_integer[10];

1) you cannot return arrays from functions
2) my advice is never to use typedefs for arrays. The syntax for
typdef'ed array parameters is deceptive because a) array parameters
_are_ in fact pointer parameters and b) the are useless because the
dimension of the array is ignored in a function parameter.
