Pure Rust Code
==============
Rust functions should follow normal Rust style where appropriate, for
example:
.. code-block:: rust
pub fn try_new_array() -> Result<()> {
Ok(())
}
New Rust code should be formatted with ``rustfmt`` or ``cargo
fmt``. If reformatting an existing file, format and commit before
making any changes. Such reformatting may be rejected in a PR based on
a variety of factors.
FFI
===
Rust code that is exposed to C should follow our C code style with
respect to naming. This applies to all functions marked as
``#[no_mangle]``. For example:
.. code-block:: rust
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" SCJbNewArray() -> *mut JsonBuilder {
}
.. rubric:: Footnotes
