## Language Bindings

### C/C++ Bindings (FFI)

#### Configuration
- ✅ **cbindgen header generation:** Successfully generated `include/pqc_binary_format.h`
- ✅ **Type safety:** Opaque handle pattern (`PqcFormatHandle`)
- ✅ **Memory management:** Explicit free functions
- ✅ **C++ compatibility:** `extern "C"` declarations

#### Fixed Issues
- ✅ Fixed cbindgen double-prefix issue (`PqcPqc*` → proper names)
- ✅ Updated example to use correct type names (`ByteBuffer` instead of `PqcByteBuffer`)
- ✅ Removed invalid `pqc_` prefix token from function declarations

#### Example Execution

```bash
$ cd bindings/c-cpp && make && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../target/release ./example

## Bug Fixes & Improvements

### Type Safety
1. **CompressionParameters.level type mismatch**
   - **Issue:** Python and WASM bindings used i32, core used u8
   - **Fix:** Changed to u8 in all bindings
   - **Impact:** Prevents runtime errors and type confusion

### Build Warnings
1. **Unused imports**
   - Removed `PyDict` from python.rs
   - Removed `CStr` from ffi.rs
   - Removed unused parameter types from ffi.rs

2. **Missing documentation**
   - Added docs for all FFI algorithm constants
   - Suppressed expected PyO3 warnings with `#![allow(non_local_definitions)]`
   - Suppressed expected FFI warnings with `#![allow(missing_docs)]`

3. **Dead code**
   - Marked `ByteBuffer::to_vec()` with `#[allow(dead_code)]` (reserved for future use)

### cbindgen Configuration
1. **Double prefix issue**
   - **Issue:** Generated `PqcPqcByteBuffer` instead of `ByteBuffer`
   - **Fix:** Removed prefix from export configuration

2. **Function prefix token**
   - **Issue:** Generated `pqc_ void function()` instead of `void pqc_function()`
   - **Fix:** Removed fn.prefix from configuration

3. **Type renaming**
   - Simplified type exports
   - Cleaner generated header file
