Modern C++ in embedded systems Part 1 : Myth and Reality

References
A reference in C++ is physically identical to a pointer. Only the syntax is different. References are safer than pointers because they can’t be null, they can’t be uninitialized, and they can’t be changed to point to something else. The closest thing to a reference in C is a const pointer. Note that this is not a pointer to a const value, but a pointer that can’t be modified. Listing 3 shows a C++ code fragment with a reference. 

     // C++ reference example
     void accumulate(int& i, int j) {
         i += j;
     }
