ToValue Trait for Modular Bitfields for Rust

Implementation based on the modular-bitfield crate. Allows for the implementation of the to_u32() function to convert structs that implement the Specifier trait to a value.

Features:

• to_u32() function to convert structs with length of max 4 bytes to u32
• to_u16() function to convert structs with length of max 2 bytes to u16
• to_u8() function to convert structs with length of max 1 byte to u8
• to_bool() function to convert structs with length of 1 bit to bool

Todo:

• implement little-endian conversion?
• maybe functions to return u64 and u128 could be implemented...

Fully supported in #![no_std] environments.

Usage

Add this to your cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
modular-bitfield = "0.11.2"
modular-bitfield-to-value = { git = "https://github.com/hacknus/modular_bitfield_to_value" }

Add the following imports:

use modular_bitfield::bitfield;
use modular_bitfield_to_value::ToValue;

A basic example:

#[bitfield(bits = 32)]
#[derive(ToValue)]
pub struct Field {
    pub test: u32,
}


{
    let field = Field::from_bytes(0x100C3_u32.to_be_bytes());
    let value = field.to_u32().unwrap();
    assert!(0x100C3 == value, "constructed = {}, to_u32() = {}", 0x100C3, 0x100C3);
}
