         * values in a fixed-size local array on the stack and, if any arrays
         * were seen, replace the ffi_type_pointer.elements with a more
         * accurate set, to allow libffi to marshal them into registers
         * correctly. It means one more loop over the fields, but if we got
         * here, the structure is small, so there aren't too many of those.
