//! # Return Statement Patterns Documentation (C99 §6.8.6.4, K&R §4.1)
//!
//! This file provides comprehensive documentation for return statement transformations
//! from C to Rust, covering all common patterns and critical safety differences.
//!
//! ## C Return Statement Overview (C99 §6.8.6.4)
//!
//! C return statements have several forms:
//! - `return;` - Return from void function
//! - `return expr;` - Return value from non-void function
//! - Missing return - Undefined behavior if non-void function doesn't return
//!
//! ## Rust Return Statement Overview
//!
//! Rust return statements are more flexible and type-safe:
//! - `return;` - Return from function with `()` return type
//! - `return expr;` - Explicit early return
//! - Expression without semicolon - Implicit return (idiomatic)
//! - Type system ENFORCES proper returns (no undefined behavior)
//!
//! ## Critical Safety Differences
//!
//! ### 1. Missing Returns
//! - **C**: Missing return in non-void function is UNDEFINED BEHAVIOR
//!   ```c
//!   int get_value() {
//!       // Missing return - undefined behavior!
//!   }
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Missing return is COMPILE ERROR
//!   ```rust
//!   fn get_value() -> i32 {
//!       // Compile error: missing return value
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 2. Expression-Based Returns
//! - **C**: Must use explicit `return` keyword
//!   ```c
//!   int max(int a, int b) {
//!       if (a > b) return a;
//!       return b;
//!   }
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Can omit `return` for final expression (idiomatic)
//!   ```rust
//!   fn max(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
//!       if a > b { a } else { b }  // No return keyword needed
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 3. Early Returns
//! - Both C and Rust support early returns with guards
//! - Rust pattern: return early for error cases, expression for success
//!
//! ### 4. Void Functions
//! - **C**: `void` return type, `return;` optional
//! - **Rust**: `()` (unit) return type, `return;` optional
//!
//! ## Transformation Strategy
//!
//! ### Rule 1: Simple Return (Non-Void)
//! ```c
//! int get_value() {
//!     return 42;
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn get_value() -> i32 {
//!     42  // Idiomatic: no return keyword
//!     // OR: return 42;  // Explicit also valid
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 2: Return with Expression
//! ```c
//! int add(int a, int b) {
//!     return a + b;
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
//!     a + b  // Idiomatic
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 3: Void/Unit Return
//! ```c
//! void process() {
//!     do_work();
//!     return;  // Optional in C
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn process() {
//!     do_work();
//!     // return omitted (implicit ())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 4: Early Return (Guard)
//! ```c
//! int divide(int a, int b) {
//!     if (b == 0) return -1;  // Early return for error
//!     return a / b;
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn divide(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
//!     if b == 0 { return -1; }  // Explicit return for early exit
//!     a / b  // Implicit return for success case
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 5: Multiple Early Returns
//! ```c
//! int classify(int x) {
//!     if (x < 0) return -1;
//!     if (x == 0) return 0;
//!     return 1;
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn classify(x: i32) -> i32 {
//!     if x < 0 { return -1; }
//!     if x == 0 { return 0; }
//!     1  // Final expression
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 6: Return in If-Else (Expression Style)
//! ```c
//! int get_sign(int x) {
//!     if (x >= 0) {
//!         return 1;
//!     } else {
//!         return -1;
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn get_sign(x: i32) -> i32 {
//!     if x >= 0 { 1 } else { -1 }  // If as expression
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 7: Return in Loop
//! ```c
//! int find_first(int arr[], int len, int target) {
//!     for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
//!         if (arr[i] == target) return i;
//!     }
//!     return -1;  // Not found
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn find_first(arr: &[i32], target: i32) -> i32 {
//!     for (i, &val) in arr.iter().enumerate() {
//!         if val == target { return i as i32; }
//!     }
//!     -1  // Not found
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 8: Return Function Call Result
//! ```c
//! int wrapper(int x) {
//!     return process(x);
//! }
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! fn wrapper(x: i32) -> i32 {
//!     process(x)  // No return keyword needed
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Common Patterns
//!
//! 1. **Guard Clauses**: Early return for error/edge cases
//! 2. **If-Else Expression**: Return value based on condition
//! 3. **Loop Search**: Return when found, continue otherwise
//! 4. **Function Wrapper**: Return result of another function
//! 5. **State Machine**: Return based on state
//!
//! ## Coverage Summary

//! - Coverage: 100% of documented return patterns
//! - Unsafe blocks: 0 (all transformations safe)
