In C++, you can't pass arrays as parameters at all - the language
inherited C's handling of arrays.  You can, of course, pass objects of
std::array<> type by value or by reference, just like any other class
types.

#include <cassert>

typedef int array42[42];

void func(array42& param) {
    assert(sizeof param == 42 * sizeof(int));
}

int main() {
    array42 arg = { };
    func(arg);
}

I suggest that this is not the best place to discuss the nuances of C++.
