Hello @ankitmaru, thank you for noticing this.

The second argument of wp_parse_str() is byref, which means that it is intentionally not defined here, but rather returned.

(Note also that the wp_parse_args() function of WordPress works similarly.)

If this is a coding standards issue, it is an acceptable one, as PHP will not throw errors or notices for it.
