Some authors treat & as part of the syntax of calling swap. Under this view, C supports the call-by-reference parameter passing strategy. [47] Other authors take a differing view that the presented implementation of swap in C is only a simulation of call-by-reference using pointers. [48]
In the C++ Standard Library, several algorithms use unqualified calls to swap from within the std namespace. As a result, the generic std::swap function is used if nothing else is found, but if these algorithms are used with a third-party class, Foo, found in another namespace that also contains swap(Foo&, Foo&), that overload of swap will be used.
In addition, swapping two variables in object-oriented languages such as C++ may involve one call to the class constructor and destructor for the temporary variable, and three calls to the copy constructor. Some classes may allocate memory in the constructor and deallocate it in the destructor, thus creating expensive calls to the system.
This article describes the calling conventions used when programming x86 architecture microprocessors.. Calling conventions describe the interface of called code: The order in which atomic (scalar) parameters, or individual parts of a complex parameter, are allocated
Call-by-name has certain effects in contrast to call-by-reference. For example, without specifying the parameters as value or reference, it is impossible to develop a procedure that will swap the values of two parameters if the actual parameters that are passed in are an integer variable and an array that is indexed by that same integer ...
Conversely, in an eager language the above definition for ifThenElse a b c would evaluate (a), (b), and (c) regardless of the value of (a). This is not the desired behavior, as (b) or (c) may have side effects, take a long time to compute, or throw errors. It is usually possible to introduce user-defined lazy control structures in eager ...

Many C compilers support using compare-and-swap either with the C11 <stdatomic.h> functions, [8] or some non-standard C extension of that particular C compiler, [9] or by calling a function written directly in assembly language using the compare-and-swap instruction. The following C function shows the basic behavior of a compare-and-swap ...
