Yes, all of these are passed by descriptors since the dummy is 
assumed-rank.

"A BIND(C) interface may specify dummy arguments that are
assumed-type. If the dummy argument is a scalar, an explicit-shape
array, or an assumed-size array, the corresponding formal parameter in
the C prototype shall be a void pointer (void *).  If the dummy
argument has the ALLOCATABLE or POINTER attributes, or is
assumed-shape or assumed-rank, the actual argument is passed as the C
address of a Fortran descriptor describing the actual argument.

Do I still need to go through the examples? Please do let me know since 
I try to save time by not doing needless work.
Thanks,
