C does not have pass-by-reference like C++ does except via
pointers, but then, in the called function they are treated
as pointers, not like C++ references.
If you mean something like this:
int a = 3 ;
int *b = &a ;
then thats not a reference either. The ampersand in above is the
"address of" operator, which generates a pointer, not a reference.
