Section 8.2.2 says:

The sample code presents almost all formal function arguments of type
array with predefined (constant) length with this explicit length.
Contrary to that, the definition of SHA256Result does not supply
the expected size of the formal argument 'Message_Digest'.

At the bottom of page 39, RFC 4634 says:

int SHA256Result(SHA256Context *context, uint8_t Message_Digest[])
{

For consistency and clarity, it should say:

int SHA256Result(SHA256Context *context,
                 uint8_t Message_Digest[SHA256HashSize])
{
