Generated code doesn't work

[thejpster]

I built a PAC using svd2rust 0.17 and it didn't compile (https://github.com/rp-rs/rp2040-pac).

I had to:

• Remove a bunch of lints that rustc 1.49 didn't like
• Replace bare_metal::Nr with cortex_m::interrupt::Nr

I also really struggled with the docs, which in the SVD are full of \n character pairs. It would really help if svd2rust could process out these character pairs and split the docs into multiple lines.

I can confirm that head works fine. See https://github.com/rp-rs/rp2040-pac/tree/use_svd_0.18alpha

We were just discussing this on the rp-rs channel and @adamgreig mentioned that the \n are not really supposed to be there. We might try to filter them out in the parser if it's not too painful/expensive.

I tried to do it in the generated output with sed and it was not easy at all (because you use #[doc=""] not ///). Filtering the string before it's rendered as docs would be best.

At least they didn't use Doxygen syntax in the comments 😂

There's unfortunately no way to generate /// doc strings, it's a long pet peeve of mine dtolnay/proc-macro2#205

Is this still actual?
