Then, of course, there's references in C++. I think it's fair to call
the following "call by reference" in the sense we're talking about it
here.
void f(int& i) {
i = 5;
}
int i = 42;
f(i);
Of course, C++ lets you go off the deep end with abominations like
references to pointers. Come to think of it, C++ let's you go off the
deep end in so many ways...
