This is really a C or C++ issue, but I still am not sure I understand. I seem
to remember passing arrays as function parameters in both C and C++. Since an
array reference is always implemented with a pointer in C and C++, all such
passing is pass by reference. Why then do you say you can't pass arrays anyway?
