Is it possible to pass primitive types by reference?

[GeneralLuken .]

Hello! Just like in the title - is it possible in haxe to pass primitive types by reference? I would like to reference a string and not copy it.

As far as I know you can't pass primitive types by reference. Strings are immutable so they shouldn't be copying anyways.

Hi

Nothing built in to the language that I know of, but tink_core has a pretty cool way of doing it:
