pchickey opened issue #5050:

Feature

Host component import function parameters should take borrowed values.

Presently, the arguments to a host component import function (as provided to wasmtime::component::LinkerInstance::func_wrap) have to implement IntoComponentFunc, whose argument list is required to impl Lift. Lift does not allow borrowed values. So, these import functions are passed String when it would be better for them to accept &str.

Benefit

Passing in a borrowed value will reduce the number of copies required to output lists. The implementation of a synchronous fd_write would benefit from this optimization.

Presently, the arguments to a host component import function (as provided to wasmtime::component::LinkerInstance::func_wrap) have to implement IntoComponentFunc, whose argument list is required to impl Lift. Lift does not allow borrowed values. So, these import functions are passed String or Vec<u8> when it would be better for them to accept &str or &[u8]. A borrowed value would be able to point to memory in a guest linear memory, whereas an owned value requires a copy out of linear memory.

I got this wrong. Borrowed values are available in parameters to import funcs via WasmStr and WasmList. Wasmtime has what we need, so I'll file an issue on wit-bindgen to use them.
