Summary
An interesting variation of call-by-value is call-by-value-result. This is call-by-value with results stored into the argument. In most cases, it will have the same effect as call-by-reference, but it avoids some of call-by-reference's aliasing problems. It is useful for remote procedure calls. (cbb 1/90)
