An array is represent using a struct with a pointer to the
array data and the length, like this:
struct Array
{
void* ptr;
size_t length;
}
The struct is passed by value, but since it contains a pointer
to the data it will be passed by reference. Note that if you do:
void foo (int[]

I don't consider curent situation with static arrays as
