Cannot copy from a peripheral that is also deleted in the same patch

[ijager]

If I try to first _copy (or _rebase) a peripheral and then delete the original it does not work. This is the simplest reproduction of this issue:

_svd: svd/stm32g070.svd

_copy:
  TIM3:
    from: TIM2

_delete:
  - TIM2

It crashes with the error

svdtools.patch.SvdPatchError: peripheral None not found

How is the order of operations defined? It seems like _delete is done before _copy. If I remove the _delete, the _copy works fine. Is there a workaround?

I'm facing the same issue.

It seems that the order is hardcoded in src/patch/peripheral.rs of the rust version.

Have you figured out how to workaround?

Looks like I renamed TIM2 to TIM3:

_modify:
  name: STM32G070

  # Remove TIM3 and rename TIM2 to TIM3. Because TIM3 was derive from TIM2
  TIM2:
    name: TIM3
    baseAddress: "0x40000400"
