name: code-annotations description: Code annotation requirements for pikru. Use when writing or porting Rust functions from C code. All ported functions must have cref comments.

Code Annotations

All Rust functions ported from C must be annotated with a cref comment:

Copy// cref: c_function_name
fn rust_function() { ... }

Purpose

The // cref: comments create a traceable link between the Rust implementation and the original C function it was ported from. This helps:

• Future maintainers understand the origin of the code
• Cross-reference behavior between C and Rust implementations
• Debug discrepancies between the two implementations
