Procedural macros for str literals

Create array from str

Procedural macro proc_strarray::make_array creates const u8 array from str literal. Variant proc_strarray::make_array0 creates zero terminated u8 array.

Macro make_array takes three arguments:

1. name of array to be created
2. str literal
3. expected length of str literal (optional argument, can be omitted)

Repeat str

1. macro str_repeat repeats str literal n times.
2. macro str_repeat0 repeats str literal n times and adds zero termination.

Return str length

1. macro str_len returns length of str literal.
2. macro str_len0 returns length of zero terminated str literal.

Usage

    // This code will create const array of u8
    // named STRU from content of "stru" str literal.
    use proc_strarray::make_array;
    make_array!(STRU, "stru");
    // check if newly created array have length 4
    assert_eq!(STRU.len(), 4);
    // check created array if first character is 's'
    assert_eq!(STRU[0], 's' as u8);
