Re:C2rust: Transpile C to Rust by littlestymaar on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @06:11PM (#30171003)
Thanks for citrus, I've started experimenting on it after I've read your pngquant blog post[1] the other day, and it's exactly what I was looking for: c2rust does semantically exact conversion, which isn't what I need: I needed a tool to automate the boring syntax conversion, and when doing the idiomatic rustification by hand I can take care about the different semantics of the two languages.

Off course there's a different trade-off when bugs are involved: c2rust shouldn't add any bugs during the conversion, while citrus will.
