I want to attach a 3in x 3in fence post to the end of a brick wall.
The problem is that the wall is only 9in (22cm) from the house wall.
I asked a related question (without mentioning the short space) here
and "resin fixing" was suggested.
I'm not sure if this is intended to attach a post or similar object
directly to the brick, or if it is intended to be used
in conjunction with bolts of some kind?


Yup, used with threaded rod usually. You drill a hole, pump with goo,
and stuff the studding into the hole. Once its gone off, you then have
rock solid studs sticking out the wall ready for posts, washers, nuts etc.

Extra tips:

Place the post over the studs before the resin goes fully off to make
sure everything lines up. More important when 3 or more fixings are used
(wall plates etc).

Consider counter-boring the post to accept the heads of the nuts and cut
the stud flush. Useful for general neatness or if a gate or fence panel
is to be mounted directly on the fixing face.

Don't use glass resin capsules, get the hole too deep or oversize and
there won't be enough resin to do a proper job.
