    Maybe...
    Code:
    void BubbleSort( int *inArray, int &nsize);
    Instead of...
    Code:
    void BubbleSort( int &inArray, int &nsize);
    As both prototype and where you actually define the function.

    Arrays are automatically passed by reference, so don't use either the * or & operator in your function prototype.
