# function-args-by-value

Warns when you should be passing by value instead of by-ref.
Types with sizeof <= 16 bytes [1] which are trivially-copyable [2] and trivially-destructible [3] should be passed by value.

Only fix these warnings if you're sure that the value would be passed in a CPU register instead on the stack.
