No, it's not. At the point of the assignment, the value of tmp is some
value returned by calloc. And that's a pointer to some memory on the
heap which won't be deallocated automatically. In order to "point result
to the pointer 'tmp'" the line would need to read

*result = &tmp;

which wouldn't compile because *result is a char * and &tmp a char **.
