passing a pointer to a field in a struct, the Go memory in question is
the memory occupied by the field, not the entire struct. When passing a
pointer to an element in an array or slice, the Go memory in question is
the entire array or the entire backing array of the slice.

C code may keep a copy of a Go pointer only as long as the memory it
points to is pinned.

C code may not keep a copy of a Go pointer after the call returns,

			const loadSlice = (addr) => {
				const array = getInt64(addr + 0);
				const len = getInt64(addr + 8);
				return new Uint8Array(this._inst.exports.mem.buffer, array, len);
			}

			const loadSliceOfValues = (addr) => {
				const array = getInt64(addr + 0);
				const len = getInt64(addr + 8);
				const a = new Array(len);
				for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
					a[i] = loadValue(array + i * 8);
				}
				return a;
			}

// delim.
func (b *Buffer) ReadBytes(delim byte) (line []byte, err error) {
	slice, err := b.readSlice(delim)
	// return a copy of slice. The buffer's backing array may
	// be overwritten by later calls.
	line = append(line, slice...)
	return line, err
}

// readSlice is like ReadBytes but returns a reference to internal buffer data.

func (s *Scanner) Err() error {
	if s.err == io.EOF {
		return nil
	}
	return s.err
}

// Bytes returns the most recent token generated by a call to [Scanner.Scan].
// The underlying array may point to data that will be overwritten
// by a subsequent call to Scan. It does no allocation.
func (s *Scanner) Bytes() []byte {
	return s.token
}

//
// For some arguments, such as a string literal or a simple array expression, the
// result can be a constant. See the Go language specification's "Length and
// capacity" section for details.
func len(v Type) int

// The cap built-in function returns the capacity of v, according to its type:
//
//	Array: the number of elements in v (same as len(v)).
//	Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (same as len(v)).

A read of an array, struct, or complex number
may by implemented as a read of each individual sub-value
(array element, struct field, or real/imaginary component),
in any order.
Similarly, a write of an array, struct, or complex number
may be implemented as a write of each individual sub-value,
in any order.
