C does _not_ have pass by ref. Messing around with pointers and addresses ar
not near that.
Try it: write a funftion that take something by value. Then write a program
that calls that function in zillion places. Now try to change the function to
take the same object by ref.  In C++ you add an & to the prototype and
another one in the function header. In C you will have tor rearranege each
call, and maybe rewrite complete sections of the program.
