Manually attempt to coalesce redundant struct and enum definitions from SVD #48

Closed vkottler closed 1 year ago

vkottler commented 1 year ago

Criteria could be something like:

same group name + same size and then check bit fields? if all of that checks out coalesce?

Maybe we just don't coalesce and deal with some of the duplication. We do end up with a huge amount of code though...

I think probably the right way to solve this would be to manually patch the SVD

May just punt on this for now and leave the HAL as-is. Merged https://github.com/vkottler/ifgen/pull/49 as a break fix for the bug we introduced with groupName handling.

Doing great on this so far with structs: https://github.com/vkottler/ifgen/pull/53.

As a bonus, here we provide meaningful name translations for what was previously value1, value2 ... (completely useless) to use a pruned version of the description.

Last thing we should do: eliminate purely duplicate enums. Should be do-able.

That's complete, just awaiting merge now.
