~tdeo/serde_bare#6: Serialize Uint type

Hey, this is more of a question than a ticket but I need to serialise some structs to have variable length number types in the generated binary. I see that serde_bare exposes a Uint type, but I don't see an obvious way to use it.

Is this possible with serde_bare? If so, what am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi, sorry for not replying for this long.

The Uint type is meant to be used like any other integer type, like u64. You can embed it inside a struct, and then create a value for it with Uint(value).

Can we implement Deref and From for Int and UInt to easily convert between their inner types?

I'm happy to send some patches

#From seems good, but I'm not sure about Deref - see https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/predictability.html#c-deref

Oh, wasn't aware of the Deref recommendations. Just From then.
