    copy of object?

    if i pass my object >
    Code:
    Search Area mapnode[dwnMax][acrMax]
    as a parameter of a function call as below >


    Code:
     SetFscore(mapnode);

    Code:
    void SetFscore(SearchArea mapnode[dwnMax][acrMax])
    {
               //do stuff
    }
    is it automatically passed by reference? or am i creating a copy of the whole array of objects during the scope of the function? i see that the object in the calling function is changed after the call which is what i want so i assume some kind of pointer or reference is implied automatically
    i do not want to be adding masses of objects on the stack

    You are passing what amounts to a pointer to a SearchArea array. You are not copying the entire array.

    Your multidimensional array doesn't match, eh? First it's the max acr/max dwn, then it's the max dwn/max acr. They are probably the same number, but I was bored and thought I'd point it out.
