Thread: little help with passing by value please

If I pass an array to a function, it's actually passing a pointer and thus passing by reference. How do I pass an array to a function by value?

Thanks
===============

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXVAL 10

void modify_array_pointer(int*, int);
void print_array(int[], int);

int main()
{
  int numbers[MAXVAL];
  for (int i=0; i < MAXVAL; i++)
  {
      numbers[i] = i;
  }

  print_array(numbers, MAXVAL);
  modify_array_pointer(numbers, MAXVAL);
  print_array(numbers, MAXVAL);


  return 0;
}

void modify_array_pointer(int *p, int maxval)
{
  for (int i=0; i < maxval; i++)
  {
    p[i]+=2;
  }
}

void print_array(int A[], int maxval)
{
  for (int i=0; i < maxval; i++)
  {
    printf("%3d , ", A[i]);
  }
  printf("\n");
}

You can't

edit: You could however, make it a global array, put it in a structure, and pass a pointer to the structure, or just make do with passing by reference, which is entirely possible.
