Help me get my mind around passing string types to a function.
I need to have the function modify the string types and get them back.
Normaly I would just return the modified string but I need to modify about
five different strings.
I thought that strings were passed by reference in C/C++ but when I pass
the strings in they remain unaltered in the calling function. I did test
the function being called and they are being althered there.
Can someone please show me the syntax that I need.
i.e.
void foo(string s, string s2)
{
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
string a, b;
foo(a, b);
return 0
}
Or whatever is correct (the above doesn't work.)
Thanks. 4 49246
void foo(string& s, string& s2)
{
}

The compiler will pass the strings the way you asked it to pass them. If
you direct the compiler to pass them by value, it will pass them by
value. The same applies to passing by reference.
void foo(string s, string s2)
This function will receive its arguments by value. In order to receive
them by reference you have to declare it as follows
void foo(string& s, string& s2)

That refers to C-style strings which are just arrays of char. Arrays in
general are passed implicitly by reference.
C++ style strings behave like "normal" data types as far as passing them
to functions is returned. If you want to change the value inside the
function and have that change communicated back to the calling function,
pass it by reference, or by pointer. The same applies for vectors, by the
way, if you're using them instead of arrays (which you probably should).
void foo(string s, string s2) {
}
void foo (string& s string& s2)

I was under the assumption that if you pass an object as a param to a method
and inside that method this object is changed, the object will stay changed
when returned from the method because the object is a reference type?
my code is not proving that. I have a web project i created from a web
service that is my object:

Hi,
I'm trying to pass values of different data-types to a web-service. I
thought it would be easier to box these values and pass them as a
System.object parameter, like
public void webmethod1(object a)
where a can be of type string, DateTime, float, etc..

Hi Gurus,
I need to transfer a jagged array of byte by reference to unmanaged

Can I do that?
How?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
