Parallel regions are outlined as functions with capture variables explicitly generated as distinct parameters in the function's argument list. That complicates the fork_call interface in the OpenMP runtime: (1) the fork_call is variadic since there is a variable number of arguments to forward to the outlined function, (2) wrapping/unwrapping arguments happens in the OpenMP runtime, which is sub-optimal, has been a source of ABI bugs, and has a hardcoded limit (16) in the number of arguments, (3) forwarded arguments must cast to pointer types, which complicates debugging. This patch avoids those issues by aggregating captured arguments in a struct to pass to the fork_call.
