| 24 | +## Development Setup |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Required Tools |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +| Tool | Version | Purpose | |
| 29 | +|------|---------|---------| |
| 30 | +| **Rust** | stable (edition 2021) | Core implementation | |
| 31 | +| **OpenSSL** | 3.0+ | Crypto backend (via `OPENSSL_DIR` or vcpkg) | |
| 32 | +| **CMake** | 3.20+ | C/C++ projection builds | |
| 33 | +| **C compiler** | C11 (MSVC / GCC / Clang) | C projection tests | |
| 34 | +| **C++ compiler** | C++17 (MSVC 2017+ / GCC 7+ / Clang 5+) | C++ projection tests | |
| 35 | +| **vcpkg** | Latest | Recommended C/C++ consumption path | |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Optional Tools |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +| Tool | Purpose | |
| 40 | +|------|---------| |
| 41 | +| OpenCppCoverage | C/C++ line coverage on Windows | |
| 42 | +| cargo-llvm-cov | Rust line coverage (`cargo +nightly llvm-cov`) | |
| 43 | +| GTest | C/C++ test framework (fetched automatically by CMake) | |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### OpenSSL via vcpkg (recommended on Windows) |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```powershell |
| 48 | +vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows |
| 49 | +$env:OPENSSL_DIR = "C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows" |
| 50 | +$env:PATH = "$env:OPENSSL_DIR\bin;$env:PATH" |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### First Build |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```powershell |
| 56 | +cd native/rust |
| 57 | +cargo build --workspace # debug build — verifies toolchain + OpenSSL |
| 58 | +cargo test --workspace # run all Rust tests |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +--- |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Building |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Rust |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +```powershell |
| 68 | +cd native/rust |
| 69 | +cargo build --release --workspace # release build (produces FFI .lib / .dll) |
| 70 | +cargo check --workspace # type-check only (faster iteration) |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### C Projection |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +```powershell |
| 76 | +cd native/rust && cargo build --release --workspace # build FFI libs first |
| 77 | +cd native/c |
| 78 | +cmake -B build -DBUILD_TESTING=ON |
| 79 | +cmake --build build --config Release |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### C++ Projection |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +```powershell |
| 85 | +cd native/rust && cargo build --release --workspace # build FFI libs first |
| 86 | +cd native/c_pp |
| 87 | +cmake -B build -DBUILD_TESTING=ON |
| 88 | +cmake --build build --config Release |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Via vcpkg (builds everything) |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +```powershell |
| 94 | +vcpkg install cosesign1-validation-native[cpp,certificates,mst,signing] ` |
| 95 | + --overlay-ports=native/vcpkg_ports |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +--- |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +## Testing |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Rust |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +```powershell |
| 105 | +cd native/rust |
| 106 | +cargo test --workspace # all tests |
| 107 | +cargo test -p cose_sign1_validation # single crate |
| 108 | +cargo test -p cose_sign1_certificates -- --nocapture # with stdout |
| 109 | +``` |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +### C / C++ |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +```powershell |
| 114 | +# After building (see above) |
| 115 | +ctest --test-dir native/c/build -C Release |
| 116 | +ctest --test-dir native/c_pp/build -C Release |
| 117 | +``` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### Full Pipeline (build + test + coverage + ASAN) |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```powershell |
| 122 | +./native/collect-coverage-asan.ps1 -Configuration Debug -MinimumLineCoveragePercent 90 |
| 123 | +``` |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +This single script: |
| 126 | +1. Builds Rust FFI crates |
| 127 | +2. Runs C projection tests with coverage + ASAN |
| 128 | +3. Runs C++ projection tests with coverage + ASAN |
| 129 | +4. Fails if coverage < 90% |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### Test Conventions |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +- **Arrange-Act-Assert** pattern in all tests. |
| 134 | +- **Parallel-safe**: no shared mutable state, unique temp file names. |
| 135 | +- **Both paths**: every feature needs positive *and* negative test cases. |
| 136 | +- **FFI null safety**: every pointer parameter in every FFI function needs a |
| 137 | + null-pointer test. |
| 138 | +- **Roundtrip tests**: sign → parse → validate for end-to-end confidence. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +--- |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +## Coverage Requirements |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +| Component | Minimum | Tool | Command | |
| 145 | +|-----------|---------|------|---------| |
| 146 | +| Rust library crates | ≥ 90% line | `cargo llvm-cov` | `cd native/rust && ./collect-coverage.ps1` | |
| 147 | +| C projection | ≥ 90% line | OpenCppCoverage | `cd native/c && ./collect-coverage.ps1` | |
| 148 | +| C++ projection | ≥ 90% line | OpenCppCoverage | `cd native/c_pp && ./collect-coverage.ps1` | |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +### What May Be Excluded from Coverage |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +Only FFI boundary stubs may use `#[cfg_attr(coverage_nightly, coverage(off))]`: |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +| Allowed | Example | |
| 155 | +|---------|---------| |
| 156 | +| ✅ FFI panic handlers | `handle_panic()` | |
| 157 | +| ✅ ABI version functions | `cose_*_abi_version()` | |
| 158 | +| ✅ Free functions | `cose_*_free()` | |
| 159 | +| ✅ Error accessors | `cose_last_error_*()` | |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +### What Must NEVER Be Excluded |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +- Business logic |
| 164 | +- Validation / parsing |
| 165 | +- Error handling branches |
| 166 | +- Crypto operations |
| 167 | +- Builder methods |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +Every `coverage(off)` annotation must include a comment justifying why the code |
| 170 | +is unreachable. |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +--- |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +## Code Style |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +### Rust |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +| Rule | Example | |
| 179 | +|------|---------| |
| 180 | +| Copyright header on every `.rs` file | `// Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.` / `// Licensed under the MIT License.` | |
| 181 | +| Manual `Display` + `Error` impls | No `thiserror` in production crates | |
| 182 | +| `// SAFETY:` comment on every `unsafe` block | Explains why the operation is sound | |
| 183 | +| No `.unwrap()` / `.expect()` in production code | Tests are fine | |
| 184 | +| Prefer `.into()` over `.to_string()` for literals | `"message".into()` not `"message".to_string()` | |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +Full formatting and lint rules are in |
| 187 | +[`.editorconfig`](../.editorconfig) and the Cargo workspace `[lints]` table. |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +### C |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +| Rule | Example | |
| 192 | +|------|---------| |
| 193 | +| `extern "C"` guards in every header | `#ifdef __cplusplus` / `extern "C" {` / `#endif` | |
| 194 | +| Include guards (`#ifndef`) | `#ifndef COSE_SIGN1_VALIDATION_H` | |
| 195 | +| `*const` for borrowed pointers | `const cose_sign1_message_t* msg` | |
| 196 | +| `*mut` / non-const for ownership transfer | `cose_sign1_message_t** out_msg` | |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +### C++ |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +| Rule | Example | |
| 201 | +|------|---------| |
| 202 | +| Move-only classes | Delete copy ctor + copy assignment | |
| 203 | +| Null-check in destructor | `if (handle_) cose_*_free(handle_);` | |
| 204 | +| `@see` on copy methods | Point to zero-copy alternative | |
| 205 | +| Namespace: `cose::sign1::` | Shared types in `cose::` | |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +--- |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +## Architecture Rules |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +### Dependencies Flow DOWN Only |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +``` |
| 214 | +Primitives ← Domain Crates ← Extension Packs ← FFI Crates ← C/C++ Headers |
| 215 | +``` |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +- **Never** depend upward (e.g., primitives must not depend on validation). |
| 218 | +- **Never** depend sideways between extension packs (e.g., certificates must |
| 219 | + not depend on MST). |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +### Single Responsibility |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +| Layer | Allowed | Not Allowed | |
| 224 | +|-------|---------|-------------| |
| 225 | +| Primitives | Types, traits, constants | Policy, I/O, network | |
| 226 | +| Domain crates | Business logic for one area | Cross-area dependencies | |
| 227 | +| Extension packs | Service integration via traits | Direct domain-crate coupling | |
| 228 | +| FFI crates | ABI translation only | Business logic | |
| 229 | +| C/C++ headers | Inline RAII wrappers | Compiled code | |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +### External Dependency Rules |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +1. Every external crate must be listed in `allowed-dependencies.toml`. |
| 234 | +2. Prefer `std` over third-party (see [DEPENDENCY-PHILOSOPHY.md](docs/DEPENDENCY-PHILOSOPHY.md)). |
| 235 | +3. No proc-macro crates in the core dependency path. |
| 236 | +4. Azure SDK dependencies only in extension packs, gated behind Cargo features. |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +--- |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +## Naming Conventions |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +### Rust Crate Names |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +| Pattern | Example | Purpose | |
| 245 | +|---------|---------|---------| |
| 246 | +| `*_primitives` | `cbor_primitives` | Zero-policy trait crates | |
| 247 | +| `cose_sign1_*` | `cose_sign1_signing` | Domain / extension crates | |
| 248 | +| `*_ffi` | `cose_sign1_signing_ffi` | FFI projection of parent crate | |
| 249 | +| `*_local` | `cose_sign1_certificates_local` | Local/test utility crates | |
| 250 | +| `*_test_utils` | `cose_sign1_validation_test_utils` | Shared test infrastructure | |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +### FFI Function Prefixes |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +| Prefix | Scope | Example | |
| 255 | +|--------|-------|---------| |
| 256 | +| `cose_` | Shared COSE types | `cose_headermap_new`, `cose_crypto_signer_free` | |
| 257 | +| `cose_sign1_` | Sign1 operations | `cose_sign1_message_parse`, `cose_sign1_builder_sign` | |
| 258 | +| `cose_sign1_certificates_` | Certificates pack | `cose_sign1_certificates_trust_policy_builder_*` | |
| 259 | +| `cose_sign1_mst_` | MST pack | `cose_sign1_mst_options_new` | |
| 260 | +| `cose_sign1_akv_` | AKV pack | `cose_sign1_akv_options_new` | |
| 261 | +| `did_x509_` | DID:x509 | `did_x509_parse` | |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +### C++ Class Names |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +Classes mirror Rust types in `PascalCase` within namespaces: |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +| Rust | C++ | |
| 268 | +|------|-----| |
| 269 | +| `CoseSign1Message` | `cose::sign1::CoseSign1Message` | |
| 270 | +| `ValidatorBuilder` | `cose::sign1::ValidatorBuilder` | |
| 271 | +| `CoseHeaderMap` | `cose::CoseHeaderMap` | |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +--- |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +## PR Review Checklist |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +Every native PR is evaluated on these dimensions. Address each before |
| 278 | +requesting review. |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +### 1. Zero-Copy / No-Allocation |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +- [ ] No unnecessary `.clone()`, `.to_vec()`, `.to_owned()` on large types |
| 283 | +- [ ] FFI handle conversions use bounded lifetimes (`<'a>`), not `'static` |
| 284 | +- [ ] C++ accessors return `ByteView` (borrowed), not `std::vector` (copied) |
| 285 | +- [ ] `_consume` / `_to_message` variants provided where applicable |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +### 2. Safety & Correctness |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +- [ ] Every FFI pointer parameter is null-checked before dereference |
| 290 | +- [ ] Every `extern "C"` function is wrapped in `catch_unwind` |
| 291 | +- [ ] Every `unsafe` block has a `// SAFETY:` comment |
| 292 | +- [ ] Memory ownership documented: who allocates, who frees, which `*_free()` |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +### 3. API Design |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +- [ ] Builder patterns are fluent (return `&mut self` or `Self`) |
| 297 | +- [ ] Error types use manual `Display + Error` (no `thiserror`) |
| 298 | +- [ ] C++ classes are move-only (copy deleted) |
| 299 | +- [ ] C headers have `extern "C"` guards |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +### 4. Test Quality |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +- [ ] Positive and negative paths covered |
| 304 | +- [ ] FFI null-pointer safety tests for every parameter |
| 305 | +- [ ] Roundtrip test (sign → parse → validate) if applicable |
| 306 | +- [ ] No shared mutable state between tests (parallel-safe) |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +### 5. Documentation |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +- [ ] Public Rust APIs have `///` doc comments |
| 311 | +- [ ] FFI functions have `# Safety` sections |
| 312 | +- [ ] C++ methods have `@see` cross-refs to zero-copy alternatives |
| 313 | +- [ ] Module-level `//!` comment in every new `lib.rs` |
| 314 | + |
| 315 | +--- |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | +## Adding a New Extension Pack |
| 318 | + |
| 319 | +1. Create the crate structure: |
| 320 | + |
| 321 | +``` |
| 322 | +extension_packs/my_pack/ |
| 323 | +├── Cargo.toml |
| 324 | +├── src/ |
| 325 | +│ ├── lib.rs # Module docs + pub use |
| 326 | +│ ├── signing/mod.rs # If contributing to signing |
| 327 | +│ └── validation/ |
| 328 | +│ ├── mod.rs |
| 329 | +│ ├── trust_pack.rs # impl CoseSign1TrustPack |
| 330 | +│ ├── fact_producer.rs # impl TrustFactProducer |
| 331 | +│ └── key_resolver.rs # impl SigningKeyResolver (optional) |
| 332 | +├── tests/ # Integration tests |
| 333 | +└── ffi/ |
| 334 | + ├── Cargo.toml # crate-type = ["staticlib", "cdylib"] |
| 335 | + └── src/ |
| 336 | + ├── lib.rs # FFI exports with catch_unwind |
| 337 | + ├── types.rs # Opaque handle types |
| 338 | + └── provider.rs # CBOR provider selection |
| 339 | +``` |
| 340 | + |
| 341 | +2. Add to workspace `members` in `native/rust/Cargo.toml`. |
| 342 | +3. Create C header: `native/c/include/cose/sign1/extension_packs/my_pack.h` |
| 343 | +4. Create C++ header: `native/c_pp/include/cose/sign1/extension_packs/my_pack.hpp` |
| 344 | +5. Add feature to vcpkg port (`native/vcpkg_ports/`). |
| 345 | +6. Add `COSE_HAS_MY_PACK` define to CMake. |
| 346 | + |
| 347 | +--- |
| 348 | + |
| 349 | +## Adding a New FFI Export |
| 350 | + |
| 351 | +When you add a public API to a Rust library crate that needs C/C++ access: |
| 352 | + |
| 353 | +1. **Rust FFI**: Add `#[no_mangle] pub extern "C" fn cose_*()` in the FFI crate. |
| 354 | +2. **C header**: Add matching declaration in the appropriate `.h` file. |
| 355 | +3. **C++ header**: Add RAII wrapper method in the corresponding `.hpp` file. |
| 356 | +4. **Null tests**: Add null-pointer safety tests for every pointer parameter. |
| 357 | +5. **C/C++ tests**: Add GTest coverage for the new function. |
| 358 | + |
| 359 | +The C/C++ headers are hand-maintained (not auto-generated) — this is |
| 360 | +intentional to preserve the header hierarchy and enable C++ RAII patterns. See |
| 361 | +[rust/docs/ffi_guide.md](rust/docs/ffi_guide.md) for the rationale. |
