I have several class members:

Arc[4] arcs;
Arc[4] arcs_2;

and Id like to initialize them with the same function, so how do I "pass them in" by reference?

void foo(ref Arc[4] arr)
{
    …
}

The dimension can of course be templatized:

void foo(size_t n)(ref Arc[n] arr)
{
    …
}

Alternatively you can take a slice of the fixed-length array:

void foo(Arc[] arr)
{
    …
}

foo(arcs[]);
foo(arcs_2[]);
