Description

Write rust-symcrypt developer docs.

Should include:

  • Procedure for updating rust-symcrypt and symcrypt-sys version ex: cargo publish --dry-run
  • Procedure for updating underlying SymCrypt version. This would be for both the static linking, as well as bindings (buildinfo.h)
  • Procedure for updating the bindings / adding a new algorithm to rust-symcrypt
  • Dev checks that must be preformed before checking in a branch, ex: (clippy, cargo fmt, updating the release draft, checking bindings)
  • How to generate new bindings

Research direction

Start by locating the existing developer documentation and the binding-generation workflow for rust-symcrypt and symcrypt-sys. Document version updates, including SymCrypt and buildinfo.h changes, binding or algorithm updates, cargo publish --dry-run, clippy, cargo fmt, release-draft updates, binding checks, and binding generation; done means each listed procedure is reproducible.
