Yes, the fields in question have array types so the rules about scalar values do not obviously apply to them. This is a bit of circular reasoning but, if the rule had been crystal clear, GCC would have implemented it at some point during the last quarter of century. My interpretation is that the writers of the ABI document probably overlooked the specific cases of arrays, which cannot appear as types of standalone parameters but can as types of fields in structures.
