Thanks for the proposal. My comments below.

This is a fragile and less compile-check prone approach. If you know
the amount of values, make a specific data type for that, or pass the
length of the output buffer..

How will the callee know that it's only 2 available?

If we have special meaning of the values, perhaps it needs to follow
an enum of some definitions, so everybody will understand how indices
are mapped to the actual data in the array.

How do you guarantee this won't overflow? (see above comment about
indices mapping)

> + unsigned int values[2];

As per above comments.
