And apparently they haven't fixed the "bug" while implementing the C11
standard, either...

katolaz@%%%%%%:~/test$ gcc -std=c11 reference.c 
reference.c:3:16: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘&’ token
 void myfun(int &a){
                ^
reference.c: In function ‘main’:
reference.c:13:4: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘myfun’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    myfun(a);
