pchickey opened PR #6225 from bytecodealliance:pch/path_readlink_truncation to bytecodealliance:main:

This is the same behavior on a too-small buffer as posix readlink(2).

The correct way to call readlink(2), and therefore path_readlink, is to call it multiple times with incrementally larger buffers until the bytes returned is smaller than the buffer passed in, to ensure the value is not being truncated. Userlands are used to this restriction.

Thankfully this nonsense goes away, thanks to the component model, in preview 2, where path_readlink just gives a string. Only the (host) component interfacing with a posix readlink(2) needs to do the truncation detection dance.
