If you want to return some precalculated stuff w/o using malloc() free(). So you just have 8 preallocated buffers and you rotate them between calls. Of course you need to be aware that results have short lifetime.

That sounds like a maintenance nightmare to me. If you insist on static, I would at least only use one buffer, to make it predictable, but personally I would just let the caller pass a pointer, where I can put the data.

What application is that for? Embedded, GUI program, server, ...?
