how to set an array of built-in structures as function's return type?

Hi, Please take a look at the following code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Get an event description by its ID                               |
//| country_code: country code name (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
MqlCalendarEvent[] CCalendar::EventsByCountry(const string country_code)
{
   MqlCalendarEvent events[];
   ResetLastError();
   int events_count = CalendarEventByCountry(country_code, events);
   if (!events_count > 0)
   {
      printf(__FUNCTION__ + ": unabe to fetch calendar date! error: " + IntegerToString(GetLastError()));
   }
   return events;
}

and more specifically to the function's header:

MqlCalendarEvent[] CCalendar::EventsByCountry(const string country_code);

I am aware of possibility to pass an array reference as function's parameter and modify that inside the function. But that's not what I am looking for this scenario.  How can I define the return type as an array of MqlCalendarEvents? Is that even possible in Mql5? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

You don't. The best you can do is return a class object that contains an array.
