### Impact When we pass a multi-dimensional array (like ) as an argument to internal/external functions we get incorrect output. This is due to a stack management issue, because it was assumed that the size of each subtype of an array/struct is 32, which is not always correct. Example code: Please see #2183 for further information ### Patches This problem was fixed in #2184, and released as a part of [ ](https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/releases/tag/v0.2.6).
