The first language stecker on the C ABI hub: a .NET binding exposing all 514 indicators as idiomatic `IDisposable` classes, generated from `wickra.h`. ## What's here - **`bindings/csharp/`** — the `Wickra` .NET 8 package. `[LibraryImport]` source-generated P/Invoke (`NativeMethods.g.cs`) plus idiomatic wrappers (`Indicators.g.cs`), both generated from the committed `bindings/c/include/wickra.h`. The binding owns no indicator maths — it only marshals types across the C ABI. - **Marshalling, verified end-to-end against the native library.** Opaque handles cross as `nint` kept alive per call via a `SafeHandle`; `bool` as `[MarshalAs(U1)]` (Rust `bool` is one byte); a self-correcting `DllImportResolver` validates the loaded library actually exports the Wickra ABI. Tests cover one representative per FFI archetype (scalar, candle, pairwise, multi-output, bars, profile, values-profile, order-book / array-input) plus exact Sma reference values. - **NuGet packaging** — `dotnet pack` produces `Wickra.<version>.nupkg`; the release pipeline stages prebuilt native libraries under `runtimes/<rid>/native/` for six target triples (win/linux/osx × x64/arm64). - **`examples/csharp/`** — nine examples mirroring `examples/c/`: streaming, backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets, three strategies, and fetch_btcusdt + live_binance. - **CI** — a `csharp` job on the three OSes builds the C ABI, tests the binding, and runs the offline examples. **Release** — a gated `csharp-publish` job packs and pushes to NuGet (gated on `NUGET_API_KEY`, independent of the GitHub-release job so a C# hiccup never blocks the C/C++ asset release). - **Docs consistency wave** — README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, examples/README, the issue / PR templates, `sync-about.yml`, and `.gitattributes`. The native Python / Node / WASM bindings and the C ABI are untouched; this is additive. Publishing to NuGet stays gated behind the release tag and the secret.

**Streaming-first technical indicators for C and C++. A prebuilt shared/static
|
|
library plus a generated `wickra.h` — 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# 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 **C ABI hub**: it compiles the
|
|
core to a C-compatible shared/static library plus a generated header, so any
|
|
C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against one artifact instead
|
|
of re-wrapping every indicator natively.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Grab the prebuilt header + library for your platform from the
|
|
[GitHub releases](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/releases) — each archive
|
|
has `wickra.h`, the optional `wickra.hpp` C++ wrapper, and the shared/static
|
|
library — or build from source:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build -p wickra-c --release
|
|
# -> target/release/libwickra.{so,dylib} or wickra.dll (+ import lib) + a staticlib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then compile against the header and link the library
|
|
(`cc app.c -I include -L lib -lwickra -lm -o app`).
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include "wickra.h"
|
|
|
|
struct Rsi *rsi = wickra_rsi_new(14); /* NULL on invalid params */
|
|
for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
|
|
double v = wickra_rsi_update(rsi, prices[i]); /* NaN during warmup */
|
|
if (v == v && v > 70.0) /* v == v is the NaN check */
|
|
printf("overbought\n");
|
|
}
|
|
wickra_rsi_free(rsi); /* exactly once per _new */
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every indicator is an opaque handle with the same five functions —
|
|
`_new` / `_update` / `_batch` / `_reset` / `_free`. `update` is O(1); there is no
|
|
RAII across the C boundary, so each `_new` needs exactly one `_free`, and every
|
|
function is NULL-safe (a NULL handle yields `NaN` or a no-op, never a crash).
|
|
Multi-output indicators (MACD, Bollinger, ADX, …) take a pointer to a `#[repr(C)]`
|
|
struct and return a `bool`. The optional `wickra.hpp` wraps any handle in a
|
|
move-only `wickra::Handle` for exception-safe C++ lifetimes.
|

## 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** (C quickstart, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): <https://docs.wickra.org/Quickstart-C>
|
|
- **Runnable examples:** [`examples/c/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/c)
|
|
|
|
Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WebAssembly and Rust, plus this
|
|
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against —
|
|
all exposing the same indicators from the shared 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.
