Call by Reference with String

Hello,
how can I transfer a String variable with Call by Reference?
Here my code:

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <cstdio>
  2. #include <iostream>
  3. #include <sstream>
  4. #include <string>
  5.  
  6. void int_to_hex(int *dez,string hex_string); // Prototype
  7.  
  8. int main(){
  9. 	string hex_string; //then hex_string becomes a value...
  10. 	int c = 123;
  11. 	int_to_hex(int_to_hex(c, hex_string);
  12.        return 0;
  13. }
  14.  
  15. void int_to_hex(int *dez,string hex_string){
  16. 	hex_string.insert(0,"0x");
  17.  
  18. }

A simple example demonstrating a string passed by reference:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. void func(string &s)
  2. {
  3.     s += " something.";
  4. }
This is just a useless function which adds " something." at the end of the string passed to the function, but it demonstrates the use of references.

A call to this function would look like:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. string str = "This is";
  2. func(str);
After running the function, str will contain: This is something. .

According to what I think, your program is bigger than that what you've posted, so could you please post the whole code so we can take a look at it?
The example in your post should compile fine without any warnings.

Thanks @ all
