RTPS IDL to Rust code generator

A tool reading an IDL and generating corresponding Rust code.

Usage:

rtps-gen -I <include-dir> data.idl -o output.rs

RTPS-IDL to Rust Mapping

The IDL types are mapped onto Rust as follows. If a type-mapping has not been decided, it is marked with 'NA'.
As RTPS is a data-centric framework in contrast to the the original OO background, the focus is put onto data structures, and ignoring interfaces and structures so far.
