  • Ecosystem Consistency: Ensures consistent APIs, centralized version control, and type safety
  • Performance Benefits: Enables better optimization through centralized abstractions

✅ Benefits for Developers

  • Consistent APIs: Same interface patterns across all SciRS2 modules
  • Version Control: Centralized dependency management eliminates version conflicts
  • Type Safety: Unified type system prevents mixing incompatible types
  • Maintainability: Changes to external APIs only affect scirs2-core
  • Performance: Core can optimize all external library usage

📋 Policy Implementation

// ❌ PROHIBITED in non-core crates
use rand::*;
use ndarray::Array2;
use num_complex::Complex;

// ✅ REQUIRED in non-core crates and tests
use scirs2_core::random::*;    // Instead of rand::*
use scirs2_core::array::*;     // Instead of ndarray::*
use scirs2_core::complex::*;   // Instead of num_complex::*

We welcome contributions! See our Contributing Guide for details.

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/cool-japan/scirs.git
cd scirs/scirs2-core
cargo test --all-features

Code Quality Standards

  • All code must pass cargo clippy without warnings
  • Test coverage must be maintained above 90%
  • All public APIs must have documentation and examples
  • Performance regressions are not acceptable

🐍 CRITICAL: Use snake_case for ALL Variables and Functions

⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR ALL DEVELOPERS: To prevent compilation errors and maintain code consistency, always use snake_case naming convention for variables, functions, and struct fields:

// ✅ CORRECT - Use snake_case
let target_time = Duration::from_secs(5);
let input_scale = 1.0;
let benchmark_results = Vec::new();
let memory_limit = 1024;

// ❌ WRONG - Avoid camelCase or mixed naming
let targetTime = Duration::from_secs(5);    // Causes compilation errors
let inputScale = 1.0;                       // Variable not found errors
let benchmarkResults = Vec::new();          // Scope resolution failures
let memorylimit = 1024;                     // Inconsistent with field names

Why This Matters:

  • Compilation Success: Prevents E0425 "cannot find value" errors
  • Code Consistency: Matches Rust conventions and struct field names
  • Team Productivity: Reduces debugging time from naming mismatches
  • Maintainability: Makes code easier to read and refactor

Enforcement: All PRs must pass cargo clippy which will catch naming inconsistencies. Use snake_case consistently to avoid compilation failures.
