| Synopsis: | Pass arguments of built-in types by value unless the function should modify them |
| Language: | C++ |
| Severity Level: | 9 |
| Category: | Class Interface |
| Description: |
Of course the built-in type void is incomplete and thus cannot be passed by value. C-style arrays are passed as e.g. 'int foo[]' or as 'const int foo[]', if there is a reason not to use standard containers or a standard string. |
