well.. there certainly are code styles which prohibit non-const reference arguments. However, llvm is not one of them. Also lldb has a issue with compulsive null checks, so I think it's important to communicate the fact the two arguments cannot be null, which reference arguments do.

Another possibility would be to just make this a real return value (pair<void *, void*> ?). The downside there is that it's not as self-documenting. Pick your poison...
