kingchenc 3ebcb3f758 Per-binding throughput benchmarks + test-coverage gaps (#246)
Adds a `throughput` benchmark to every target and closes two small
test-coverage documentation/QA gaps. One PR, no merge of binding code beyond
the additive benchmarks and one C test.

## 1. Per-binding throughput benchmarks (all 9 targets)

Each benchmark feeds a deterministic synthetic OHLCV series through three
indicators chosen by **FFI call-signature archetype** (not algorithm — the same
Rust core runs underneath all bindings):

- `SMA(20)` — 1-in → 1-out (baseline boundary cost)
- `ATR(14)` — multi-in → 1-out (input marshalling)
- `MACD(12,26,9)` — 1-in → multi-out (output marshalling)

Streaming is timed for all three; batch for the single-output SMA and ATR
(median of 3 runs, after a warmup pass).

New: Python (PyO3), WASM, C (CMake), C# (Stopwatch), Go, Java (FFM), R, and the
Rust core baseline (`examples/rust/.../throughput.rs`, **no FFI** — the ceiling
the bindings are measured against and the value their batch paths converge
towards). Node already had `throughput.js`.

**Not a speed claim:** there is no comparable streaming TA library for C, C#,
Go, Java, R or WASM to compare against, so these are raw per-binding throughput
numbers documenting each language's FFI overhead — see BENCHMARKS.md §3. The
"Wickra is fast" claim still lives in §1/§2 (Rust core + the Python/Rust
cross-library runs).

## 2. README `## Testing`: C# and C bullets

The section listed every layer except C# and C, even though both have suites.
Adds the two missing bullets.

## 3. C archetype ctest

`examples/c/archetypes.c` drives one indicator per FFI archetype through the
real C boundary (scalar + batch==streaming, multi-output, bars, profile, array
input) plus reset, invalid-parameter and NULL-safety — the C counterpart of the
Go/R/Java archetype suites. Runs on three OSes via the existing CMake/ctest.

## Notes

- Benchmarks are not CI-gated (manual-run scripts, like the existing
  `throughput.js`); no `ci.yml`/`release.yml` changes.
- Docs: BENCHMARKS.md §3, a `## Benchmark` section in every binding README, a
  CHANGELOG entry.
- Verified locally by running: Rust, Python, C, C#, Go, Java (real numbers); the
  C archetype ctest with `-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror`. WASM and R are
  API-correct and syntax-checked but need their own toolchains to run.

**Streaming-first technical indicators for the JVM, on the Java Foreign Function
& Memory API — prebuilt native library, no JNI, no system dependencies.**
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and
bindings for Python, Node.js and WebAssembly, plus a C ABI for C/C++, C#, Go, Java, R
and any other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state
machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same
implementation. This package is the Java binding; it consumes the C ABI hub
through the Panama FFM API (`java.lang.foreign`) and exposes all 514
streaming-first indicators as idiomatic `AutoCloseable` classes.
## Requirements
- **Java 22 or later** (the FFM API is final since Java 22; no preview flag).
- The FFM API is *restricted*: pass `--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED` when you
run your application to silence the native-access warning.
## Install
Maven:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wickra</groupId>
<artifactId>wickra</artifactId>
<version>0.8.2</version>
</dependency>
```
Gradle:
```kotlin
implementation("org.wickra:wickra:0.8.2")
```
The native library ships prebuilt per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and
arm64) inside the jar and is extracted automatically on first use. There is
nothing to compile.
## Quick start
```java
import org.wickra.Ema;
import org.wickra.Rsi;
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole series (NaN at warmup positions).
double[] prices = new double[1000];
for (int i = 0; i < prices.length; i++) {
prices[i] = 100.0 + i * 0.1;
}
try (Ema ema = new Ema(20)) {
double[] values = ema.batch(prices);
}
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
try (Rsi rsi = new Rsi(14)) {
for (double price : liveFeed) {
double value = rsi.update(price); // NaN during warmup, no recomputation
if (Double.isFinite(value) && value > 70) {
System.out.println("overbought");
}
}
}
```
`batch(prices)` and feeding the same prices through `update()` produce identical
values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite. Multi-output indicators
(MACD, Bollinger, ADX, …) return a `record`, `null` while warming up. Each
indicator owns a native handle freed by a `Cleaner`; `close()` releases it
eagerly (use try-with-resources).
## Benchmark
`benchmarks/` reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for `SMA`, `ATR`
and `MACD`. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio
(the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the repository
[BENCHMARKS.md](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/blob/main/BENCHMARKS.md) §3.
```bash
cargo build -p wickra-c --release
mvn -q install -DskipTests
mvn -q -f benchmarks exec:exec -Dexec.mainClass=org.wickra.benchmarks.Throughput
```
## Documentation
The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in
the main repository and documentation site:
- **Repository & full indicator list:** <https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra>
- **Docs** (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): <https://docs.wickra.org>
- **Runnable examples:** [`examples/java/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/java)
Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WebAssembly and Rust, plus a
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against —
all exposing the same indicators from the shared, `unsafe`-forbidden Rust core.
## Disclaimer
Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes
are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice
and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own
risk. The library is provided **as is**, without warranty of any kind.
