How do you specify a reference to a pointer

[jessica_boxer]

I want to specify a reference to a pointer. I tried this syntax, and it
didn't compile.

void func(string s, (Type*)& t);

Any thoughts?

void func(string s, Type *& t);


I suspect that the compiler is attempting to take the address of t, then
casting it to a Type* in your version.

The following seems to work for me.

#include <string>

class Type
{
public:
int someData;
};

void func(std::string s, Type* & t);
