Description

if I modify the example to call the function with smth like `[1]` and call `JSON.stringify` inside - I can see the parameter gets converted to `{"0":1}`. Same goes for typed arrays.

How can I pass arrays, specifically typedarrays? Or, where do I start to add this functionality?

The idea is to pass a typed array which the function can modify without creating a ton of new objects

Thanks!

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating the argument-conversion path for JavaScript arrays and typed arrays, then determine how mutable typed-array data should cross the WebAssembly boundary without unnecessary object creation; done means a documented working call and coverage for both array types.
