You're going to have to work a lot harder than this:

I do not know what the internal representation of std::vector is in
your C++ library, but it seems highly unlikely that it exactly matches
what Postgres arrays look like. Nor has Postgres ever heard of a
std::pair. You'd need to either create a composite type of two text
columns and then build an array of those, or else decide to return a
two-dimensional array to represent this case. In any case, you must
use Postgres functions to construct the return value; the C++ library
is completely useless for that.
