Support using without `alloc`

[katyo]

I try this awesome library to create firmware for microcontrollers. Because it supports no_std I expected it works but seems currently Encoder and Decoder implementations uses Vec type from std/alloc. I got the following errors:

error[E0412]: cannot find type `Vec` in this scope

I added dependency as follows:

[dependencies.bitcode]
version = "0.6"
default-features = false
features = ["derive"]

Is it possible to use this crate without std and alloc at all?

bitcode needs alloc (see the README)

Dropping the alloc dependency would require some redesigning and refactoring, and would probably add complexity. You're welcome to try writing a PR to do it (I'd be interested to see how far you can get). I anticipate you would need to use a lot of stack-allocated, fixed-sized vectors that abort instead of growing.
