Zero-copy pass ArrayBuffer from JS-land to WebAssembly-land

Hey, From reading about the WebAssembly.Memory there really is no way to pass an ArrayBuffer zero-copy to C++ from JS. Example: Let's say a WebSocket in the browser triggers the onmessage with an ArrayBuffer of the message data. Now I want to read this data in C++. From all solutions I've seen you really need to: 1. allocate a new WebAssembly.Memory (or whatever allocation strategy you use) 2. copy the contents of ArrayBuffer with the message to the ArrayBuffer of the WebAssembly.Memory 3. call into C++ and use the copied memory as char * 4. free the WebAssembly.Memory Imagine having a constructor like new WebAssembly.Memory(ArrayBuffer) so that you could skip all steps except for step 3. Did I get something wrong or is this not supported?
