This could have an impact on performance: https://github.com/sharksforarms/deku/issues/25#issuecomment-821858517 This would be similar to how...

Read from a std::io `Read` + `Seek` and output to a `Write`

Reader functions can take in a `Read` + `Seek` trait impl, write can write to a `Write` https://github.com/sharksforarms/deku/issues/100 Feature gated under "std" feature as these are std traits. For nostd,...

RFC/feat: Add `ctx_nested` attribute to top level

7

Closes: https://github.com/sharksforarms/deku/issues/217 This allows clients to pass context arguments down to all fields. Example ```rust use deku::prelude::*; struct MyCtx {} #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, DekuRead, DekuWrite)] #[deku(ctx = "ctx: MyCtx", ctx_nested =...

Create helper types for explicit bit sizes

2

For example a `u3` type where 3-bit max value is enforced. ```rust struct DekuTest { field_a: u3 } ``` Create macro where these can be implemented up to a certain...
