An argument passing convention where the address of an argument variable is passed to a function or procedure, as opposed to where the value of the argument expression is passed. Execution of the function or procedure may have ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=side-effect">side-effects on the actual argument as seen by the caller. The C language' s "&" (address of) and "*" (dereference) operators allow the programmer to code explicit call-by-reference. Other languages provide special syntax to declare reference arguments (e.g. ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=ALGOL 60">ALGOL 60). See also ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=call-by-name">call-by-name, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=call-by-value">call-by-value, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=call-by-value-result">call-by-value-result.
