Primitives

The following primitive types are available:

type hintname
=boolboolean
={i,u}{8,16,32,64,128,size}standard integer types
=f{32, 64}32-bit / 64-bit floating point type
=[u8; N]byte array
=[u8]byte slice
=strstring slice

They can be used like this:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
extern crate defmt;
let enabled = false;
let ready = false;
let timeout = false;
// arguments can be compressed into a single byte
defmt::info!(
    "enabled: {=bool}, ready: {=bool}, timeout: {=bool}",
    enabled, ready, timeout,
);

let x = 0u16;
// arguments will be type checked
defmt::trace!("{=u16}", x);
//                      ^ must have type `u16`
}

Additionally there are some special types:

type hintname
=M..NBitfields
=istrInterned Strings
=[?]Format slices
=[?; N]Format arrays
