The ABI passes a function's parameters on the stack when your function (or a record passed to that function) has 16 or less parameters (including record fields). Past that limit the caller has to malloc into the guest for copying parameters over. Implement wit-bindgen's Instruction::Malloc for guest exports by calling cabi_realloc in the guest and using those pointers to write data. Test coverage was added to the instructions example to ensure this doesn't incur regressions. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 via Claude Code Signed-off-by: Xe Iaso <me@xeiaso.net>
