Runtime library for the Seq programming language

//! FFI C-string glue: Seq String ↔ null-terminated C char buffer.
//! Used by the FFI wrapper codegen to pass strings across the C ABI.

/// Convert a Seq String on the stack to a null-terminated C string.
///
/// The returned pointer must be freed by the caller using free().
/// This peeks the string from the stack (caller pops after use).
///
/// Stack effect: ( String -- ) returns ptr to C string
///
/// # Memory Safety
///
/// The returned C string is a **completely independent copy** allocated via
/// `malloc()`. It has no connection to Seq's memory management:
///
/// - The Seq String on the stack remains valid and unchanged
/// - The returned pointer is owned by the C world and must be freed with `free()`
/// - Even if the Seq String is garbage collected, the C string remains valid
/// - Multiple calls with the same Seq String produce independent C strings
///
/// This design ensures FFI calls cannot cause use-after-free or double-free
/// bugs between Seq and C code.
///
/// # Safety
/// Stack must have a String value on top. The unused second argument
/// exists for future extension (passing output buffer).
