[C++] distinguish reference/value - Baltazar - 01.08.2017

Hi, dudes. I try to write function-wrapper for retrieving float values in C++. Something like:

Код:

float GetFloat(AMX * amx, cell * params, int i);

I want it to work equally well when a floating-point number is passed by value or by reference:

Код:

native my_func(Float:f);
native his_func(&Float:f);

How do I know if a floating-point number was passed by value or by reference?

I can always define two separate functions, like:

Код:

float GetFloatValueGiven(AMX * amx, cell * params, int i);
float GetFloatRefereceGiven(AMX * amx, cell * params, int i);

But I want my code to look nice. I would rather use one function for both cases. If only there is a way to distinguish whether float is passed by value or by reference.

Ok, I will probably pass an additional parameter to determine the type manually as suggested:

Код:

float GetFloat(int index, bool is_reference = false);

SDK plugin is a very useful tool, unfortunately it is written mostly in C. I am trying to write a wrapper-class for it so it becomes more intuitive to use
