And do what with the stack?

Right question, but it also depends on what is "stack". Please see Solution 1.

It depends on what you call "stack". If this is a data structure (Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^], Stack (C++) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^], stack - C++ Reference[^]), you should better pass it by pointer or by reference:

C++

void someFunction(stack * s) { /* ... */ }
void someOtherFunction(stack & s)  { /* ... */ }
// and the like...

Should I even explain why? If you really need the explanation, I'm afraid it should go as far as explaining the very basics of programming, which can hardly fit the format of this forum.

Anyway, this reading could be useful:

7.3. Passing arguments by reference; Learn C++[^],
7.4. Passing arguments by address; Learn C++[^],
6.7. Introduction to pointers; Learn C++[^].
