if using an int* over an int[] changes the memory layout of a struct, that necessarily implies a difference in the ABI. As an example, C++'s std::array can be implemented as a struct containing a fixed-size C-style array. This can be p

This isn't true. int[] decays into an int* but is a different type. An array member of a struct will have its data allocated contiguously with other struct members (subject to compiler padding). An int* would point outside the struct.
