Passing arguments by reference

I'm wondering how to create a function that takes in some of its arguments by reference.
I have this function...

void handleBtn_On_Off(unsigned char inputPinNumber, long &lastStateChange, bool &stateOfBtn,int DebounceTime ,bool btnHasOutput, unsigned char outputPin) {
    int pauseBtnReading = digitalRead(inputPinNumber);
    if (pauseBtnReading == 1) {      
      long currentMillis = millis();
      if (currentMillis - lastStateChange > DebounceTime) {
        stateOfBtn = !stateOfBtn;
        if (btnHasOutput) {
          digitalWrite(outputPin, pauseIsActive);
        };        
        lastStateChange = currentMillis;
      };
    };
}; // end handlePause

where I would invoke it like this...

handleBtn_On_Off(digitalInputPins[0], lastStateChangePause, pauseIsActive, 399, true, 8);      // pause btn

What you have is correct. Didn't you try it?
