Struct support - vspec2binary

[eric-hologic]

Is binary support for structs in the works / have a timeline for implementation?

(and if not, which exporters are most-supported at the moment?)

I am not aware of any planned work for support for structs/types in the binary format. @UlfBj can likely confirm.

There is struct support in quite many of the exporters, but as structs not yet are used in the standard VSS catalog I do not know if the struct feature actually is used by anyone. I would say that the general purpose Yaml/Json exporters are possibly the most used ones, as they are used as input format in some downstream projects, but in general the exporters are quite stable. It would be great if you would like to test out structs or add struct support for instance in the binary tool.

I can say that the go exporter has full struct support for instance

[UlfBj]

The binary format, when used in VISS, already provides the implicit support that is required, so there is no current plan to extend that.

Thank you for the clarification. Contributing binary struct support may be possible; but if so, it will likely be quite some delay before I have that opportunity.
