A class is a type. You cannot pass a type in C++, you can only pass an object of the type, either by value or by reference.
The only way to physically pass a type is to pass a void pointer (void*), then use expensive runtime type information to determine the runtime type of the object being referred to. However, it's much more efficient (and easier) to simply pass a base class that provides the generic (virtual) interface required by your function.
