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.

haha, i will edit that, just sloppy typing the example in, i had cleared it some lines to post....i am past letting those sort of bugs into my code now......i think...!
