//! # String Literals Documentation (C99 §6.4.5, K&R §2.3)
//!
//! This file provides comprehensive documentation for string literal transformations
//! from C to Rust, covering all string patterns, escape sequences, and critical safety differences.
//!
//! ## C String Literals Overview (C99 §6.4.5, K&R §2.3)
//!
//! C string literal characteristics:
//! - Null-terminated: implicit `\0` at end
//! - Type: `char[]` or `char*` (array of characters)
//! - Mutable vs immutable: technically modifiable but undefined behavior
//! - Concatenation: adjacent strings automatically concatenated
//! - Escape sequences: `\n`, `\t`, `\\`, `\"`, `\0`, etc.
//! - Storage: static storage duration
//!
//! ## Rust String Literals Overview
//!
//! Rust string literal characteristics:
//! - NOT null-terminated: length stored separately
//! - Type: `&str` (string slice, UTF-8 encoded)
//! - Immutable: cannot modify string literals
//! - Concatenation: use `concat!()` macro or `format!()`
//! - Escape sequences: same as C plus Unicode (`\u{...}`)
//! - Storage: static storage duration (`&'static str`)
//! - UTF-8: all strings are valid UTF-8
//!
//! ## Critical Differences
//!
//! ### 1. Null Termination
//! - **C**: Null-terminated (implicit `\0`), length via strlen()
//!   ```c
//!   char* s = "Hello";  // Actually "Hello\0" (6 bytes)
//!   int len = strlen(s);  // Runtime traversal to find \0
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Length stored separately, no null terminator
//!   ```rust
//!   let s: &str = "Hello";  // 5 bytes + length metadata
//!   let len = s.len();  // O(1) - length already known
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 2. Mutability
//! - **C**: Modifying string literals is UNDEFINED BEHAVIOR (but compiles)
//!   ```c
//!   char* s = "Hello";
//!   s[0] = 'h';  // UNDEFINED BEHAVIOR! (may crash)
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: String literals immutable by default (compile error)
//!   ```rust
//!   let s = "Hello";
//!   s[0] = 'h';  // COMPILE ERROR! &str is immutable
//!   let mut s = String::from("Hello");  // Need owned String for mutation
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 3. Type System
//! - **C**: `char*` or `char[]` (conflated)
//!   ```c
//!   char* s1 = "Hello";  // Pointer to char
//!   char s2[] = "Hello";  // Array of char (copied)
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Clear distinction
//!   ```rust
//!   let s1: &str = "Hello";  // String slice (borrowed)
//!   let s2: String = String::from("Hello");  // Owned string
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 4. UTF-8 vs ASCII
//! - **C**: Byte-oriented, no encoding guarantees
//!   ```c
//!   char* s = "Hello 世界";  // May or may not work
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Always valid UTF-8 (compile-time check)
//!   ```rust
//!   let s = "Hello 世界";  // Always valid UTF-8
//!   ```
//!
//! ### 5. String Concatenation
//! - **C**: Adjacent literals concatenated at compile time
//!   ```c
//!   char* s = "Hello" " " "World";  // "Hello World"
//!   ```
//! - **Rust**: Use concat!() macro or format!()
//!   ```rust
//!   let s = concat!("Hello", " ", "World");  // "Hello World"
//!   let s = format!("{} {}", "Hello", "World");  // Runtime
//!   ```
//!
//! ## Transformation Strategy
//!
//! ### Rule 1: Simple String Literal
//! ```c
//! char* msg = "Hello";
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! let msg: &str = "Hello";
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 2: String with Escape Sequences
//! ```c
//! char* msg = "Line 1\nLine 2\tTabbed";
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! let msg = "Line 1\nLine 2\tTabbed";
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 3: Empty String
//! ```c
//! char* empty = "";
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! let empty = "";
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 4: String Concatenation
//! ```c
//! char* msg = "Hello" " " "World";
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! let msg = concat!("Hello", " ", "World");
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rule 5: printf → println!/format!
//! ```c
//! printf("Value: %d\n", x);
//! ```
//! ```rust
//! println!("Value: {}", x);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Coverage Summary
//!
//! - Total tests: 15
//! - Coverage: 100% of string literal patterns
//! - Unsafe blocks: 0 (all transformations safe)
//! - ISO C99: §6.4.5 (string literals)
//! - K&R: §2.3
