C Code Review Guide

Review Priorities

• Memory safety (allocation/free correctness).
• Boundary checks for arrays/buffers.
• Null checks before dereference.
• Error-path cleanup and return codes.

Checklist

• Any potential buffer overflow?
• Any uninitialized variable read?
• Any missing free in failure path?
• Any undefined behavior in pointer arithmetic?

Summary

In C, safety and correctness checks must be explicit.
