reference call; call by reference
Computing term for a function or method call that passes arguments by reference rather than by value.
In C, you implement call by reference using pointers.
参照呼び出しでは、関数内で引数の値を変更すると、呼び出し元の変数も変わる。
With call by reference, if you change the argument's value inside the function, the caller's variable also changes.
Call by value, where a copy of the argument is passed; changes inside the function do not affect the original variable.
Compound of 参照 (reference) and 呼び出し (call), a direct translation of the English computing term 'reference call' or 'call by reference'.
