Formal comment #177 (defect) C sharp can pass arguments by reference Status: new Reported by: Bob Burger Version: 5.92 Summary 1. C sharp can pass arguments by reference using the ref keyword. 2. The language is not C hash, but C$\sharp$ in LaTeX. Description There are three uses of C# in the base report, all on page 6. The sentence on the top of the second column of page 6 says that C# always passes arguments by value. In C#, arguments may be passed by value using the ref keyword. RESPONSE: The next draft of the report will avoid using the "by-value" terminology.
