I'm rather baffled by what you are saying. The LRM does indeed allow you
to pass parameters by reference, and in fact I know of some (validated)
compilers that do. For example, all Verdix-based compilers can pass
parameters by reference. I suspect that you have simply heard some lame
excuses from some compiler vendors who didn't go to the trouble of
implementing pass-by-reference (perhaps I'm being too harsh here,
but if so then can someone post an example that shows why you cannot
use pass-by-reference?).
