Could you please give a pointer to the place where this feature is documented in the ANSI C99 standard? Because it seems that the GCC crew has overlooked it. If I try to compile: ============ #include <stdio.h> void myfun(int &a){ a = 2*a; } int main (void){ int a = 10; myfun(a); } =========== with $ gcc -std=c99 reference.c this is what I obtain: reference.c:3:16: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘&’ token void myfun(int &a){ ^ reference.c: In function ‘main’: reference.c:13:4: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘myfun’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] myfun(a); ^ So my version of gcc apparently does not know about this feature included in the ANSI C99 standard....
