no_std use
I love this crate and use it for error handling in all my projects that run with the standard library. I recently worked on an embedded project with no_std
enabled: so no standard library (std
), no std::error::Error
, no heap allocator, no String
. I still wanted From
implementations for my crate's Error enum but ended up writing them by hand.
Any thoughts on supporting a no_std
mode, perhaps configured with a #[error(no_std)]
attribute on the Error enum? Would you be willing to work on this or accept PRs for this feature?
I think the implementation would change slightly here but could be as simple as: when no_std
, output ::core::fmt
instead of ::std::fmt
for the Display
impl
, and implement description
as a local method rather than a trait method, removing the ::std::error::Error
block entirely.
I've always wanted to add no_std
support. It's just that I haven't had a strong motivation to do it so far as all the projects I'm working on run in environments where the standard library is available. So yes, I would totally appreciate a PR.
