The new approach parses blb files into statics which allows to use the crate in
no_std
contexts. This PR additionally introduces theparse_into_structs
macro which defines a struct with byte slice fields and transforms blobby data into list of these structs.For example, it allows us to write:
I also thought about adding support for byte array fields, but with the current Rust capabilities (i.e. without const traits) the resulting code becomes annoyingly complex, so I decided against it in the current version.
