smarter macros for defining intra-unit conversions #104

Open PTaylor-us opened 3 years ago

PTaylor-us commented 3 years ago

There are many instances when converting from a larger-magnitude unit with width u32 to a smaller-magnitude unit with width u64 could use From/Into rather than their fallible forms. However, my current level of macro expertise limits me to either one or the other (fallible or infallible).

One option is to move the macro generation to an internal proc-macro. This kind of change would be trivial then.

PTaylor-us commented 3 years ago

I'm not very familiar with proc macros. Is this something you are capable of doing, @korken89?

korken89 commented 3 years ago

I have no problems with proc-macros as with RTIC I mostly write them :) But I am not familiar with all the generation that the current macros are performing. I'll study the current macro to get a better feel for it.
