SVD_to_D: Generate over 100k lines of highly-optimized microcontroller mmapped-IO code in the blink of an eye

SVD_to_D is a command-line utility that generates D code from ARM 
Cortex-M SVD files.

SVD files are XML files that describe, in great detail, the 
memory layout and characteristics of registers in an ARM Cortex-M 
microcontroller. See 
https://github.com/posborne/cmsis-svd/tree/master/data for a 
curated list of SVD files for many ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers 
from various silicon vendeors.

 From the information in an SVD file, code for accessing the 
microcontroller's memory-mapped-io registers can be automatically 
generated, and SVD_to_D does exactly that.

For a large microcontroller like the SM32F7, the amount of code 
generated can be more than 100k lines.  See an example of 
generated D code here: 
https://github.com/JinShil/svd_to_d/tree/master/examples/stm32f7x9

The code generated by SVD_to_D depends on this memory-mapped-IO 
library: https://github.com/JinShil/memory_mapped_io  That 
library uses D's CTFE and meta-programming features to generate 
highly optimized code (for both size and speed) at compile-time 
with additional features such as type safety and 
compile-time-enforced mutability.

Enjoy!
