Tarek Sander (Mar 11 2024 at 14:50): Tarek Sander (Mar 11 2024 at 14:50):Is there an existing tool or interest in a tool to create a WIT definition from e.g. a C header file, or a Rust crate? That would make turning libraries into components much easier. That way you could e.g. share big Rust crates between components to reduce code size.
Joel Dice (Mar 11 2024 at 15:03):There's definitely interest, since people have been asking for it. I don't know of any existing tool, though.
Another option to reduce duplication is https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/blob/main/design/mvp/examples/SharedEverythingDynamicLinking.md which operates at the C ABI level rather than WIT, making it easier to accommodate existing APIs which may pass pointers around.
