  <p>I am looking at someone else's code right now and saw an unusual (atleast for me) function declaration syntax. Is the following valid C++ syntax?</p>
  
  <pre><code>bool Foo::Bar(Frame *&amp;ptoframe, int msToBlock)
  {
      ....
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think the developer is trying to declare a pointer to a reference.</p>
  
  <p>thanks for the help</p>
