One of the more interesting things about this was creating a compile-time version of alloc::alloc_zeroed for C-style zeroed structs.

PDFCode is a source code to PDF generation program. It creates a listing of your source code with hyperlinks to the various definitions. It uses GNU Global (potentially with Pygments or some version of Ctags) to link code together. For example, uses of a struct or function are linked to their definition.
PDFCode was inspired by the htags program of GNU Global.
The main reason for designing PDFCode was to test the ability to use programs such as Noteability or GoodNotes etc. to annotate source code. Linking of the code was done to facilitate a more editor like environment.
As of current, this is a spike version. It is more or less functional; however, it still has its issues. Some special characters used in LATEX are escape in a weird and noticeably non-original source code manner (ex. _ is _)
We use pipenv to list Python3 required libraries.
Pygments and LATEX must be installed to generate the PDF. Furthermore, you must have a version of GNU Global installed with sqlite3 support.
