It's funny (or sad) that C has compound types since C99 and
that they are good.
Your foo(|a,b,|c1,c2,3||,|e|,|f,g,c|) writes as
foo((T1){a,b,{c1,c2,c3}}, (T2){e}, (T3){f,g,c});
of course, the lack of object orientation and other things
makes it easier in C.
It's struct literals, a gcc extension, not in language.
No, they're named compound* literals and they are in the language
since C99.

* They can be used to initialise also unions and arrays. (int
[10]){0,2,[8]=2} is absolutely legal p.ex.
