First of all, you mean call-by-reference, call-by-name is a sick concept.
Anyway, passing the address of a variable as an argument is not a simulation
of call-by-reference, it is simply stating what you want done explicitly
rather than being euphemistic.  It does require that you understand pointers,
but you have no business using 'C' if you don't.
