In {cpp}, it is preferred to use reference parameters (`Type const&` or `Type&`), or pass objects by value (`Type`), instead of a pointer (`Type const*` or `Type*`), if the argument is expected to never be null.

[source,cpp]
----
// Precondition: graph != null
bool isDAG(Graph const* graph);
---- 

The preferred signature would be:

[source,cpp]
----
bool isDAG(Graph const& graph);
