Is it OK to pass to function a reference to the value of map

  • 0

Is it OK to pass to function a reference to the value of map element, and to modify it there?

foo(string & s) {     s = 'xyz'; }  map<int, string> m; m[1] = 'abc'; foo(m[1]); // <-- Is it ok? Will m[1] be 'xyz' after this call? 

Thank you.
