    but of course C can pass by reference...
    No...C only supports passing by value.
    C cannot pass by reference. It only simulates it. It can pass a reference to something through a pointer variable.

    But a value is copied, and that value is an address, making it pass-by-value.

    P.S. If you don't believe me, I suggest you email this guy:
