Topic: ✔ WIT Guest resource as parameter of host function

lkjhaisduhjfkxcjvbnis (Aug 09 2024 at 17:07):

Take this as an example:

package test:project;

interface host-interface {
    use guest-interface.{guest-resource};

    host-function: func(arg: guest-resource);
}

interface guest-interface {
    resource guest-resource {
        guest-function: func();
    }
}

world test-world {
    import host-interface;
    export guest-interface;
}

I want my imported host-function to be passed the exported guest-resource.
However when generating host bindings for the spec i am also forced to implement guest-interface on the host side.
I assume that due to the use statement the guest-resource is seen as part of the host-interface, forcing me to implement the guest-interface.
I dont want to do that though.
Is there a way to achieve this?

this is another instance of the "cant use an exported resource in imports" problem, let me see if I can find a previous discussion to refer you to
