I don't know much about ABIs, so I tried:

$ cat hello.c
#include <complex.h>

void other(int real, int imag);
void func (complex int n)
{
  other(creal(n), cimag(n));
}
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc hello.c -g3 -O0 -c
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump -d allo.o

allo.o:     file format elf64-x86-64


Disassembly of section .text:

Doesn't this show that a `complex int` argument is passed through the rdi
register?  Am I missing something here?
