Uhm.. Passing by reference is a feature of the language you use to
write code. Circle is written in C, which does support that.
If you're going to increment a 'memory location' for each call to
some function, somewhere, you can probably find an easier way to do it.
Why don't you just use a static variable inside the function?
Perhaps you should explain in less general terms exactly what
you're trying to do (ie, post code/pseudo-code).
