Crate platform_switch

Namespace facades for switching between platforms.

Motivation

Sometimes code needs to be shared between a contrainted platform (such as an embedded system) and a target that has a more fully featured environment. This crate provides a series of module wrappers that can be used in combination with cargo manifest feature definitions to switch between options at compile time.

Example

Using thiserror with defmt enabled on an embedded system:

[features]
default = ["std"]
std = ["platform-switch/std_error"]
mcu = ["platform-switch/core_error", "platform-switch/defmt"] # Requires nightly

use platform_switch::log as log;
use platform_switch::thiserror as thiserror;

#[derive(thiserror::Error, Debug)]
enum ExampleError {
    #[error("Error #1")]
    Error1,
    #[error("Error #2")]
    Error2,
}

fn error_logger() {
    log::trace!("Trace");
    log::debug!("Debug");
    log::info!("Info");
    log::warn!("Warn");
    log::error!("Error");

    log::error!("Error: {}", ExampleError::Error1);
    log::error!("Error: {}", ExampleError::Error2);
}

Stable Toolchain

If a stable toolchain is required, thiserror can be disabled with the following features and attributes:

[features]
default = ["std"]
std = ["thiserror", "platform-switch/std_error"]
mcu = ["platform-switch/defmt"]
thiserror = []

use platform_switch::log as log;
use platform_switch::thiserror as thiserror;

#[derive(Debug)]
#[cfg_attr(feature = "thiserror", derive(thiserror::Error))]
enum ExampleError {
    #[cfg_attr(feature = "thiserror", error("Error #1"))]
    Error1,

    #[cfg_attr(feature = "thiserror", error("Error #2"))]
    Error2,
}
