Folks,
When the new DTS /dts-v1/ support is released Real Soon Now,
it will support C-like literal constants. Hex values will be
prefixed with 0x, binary with 0b, and bare numbers will be
decimal unless they start with a leading 0.
One outstanding question on which I'd like some feedback
is the issue of bytestring value representation.
Currently they look like this:
stuff = [ 0b 31 22 de ea ad be ef ];
One opinion is to have them continue to look like that
and be in hex only.
Another opinion is to allow the new, consistent C-style
literals and expressions so that one could have:
new_stuff = [ 0x31 49 '1' 23 17 ];
Opinions?
Thanks,
jdl
