Adds an R binding (`bindings/r`) over the C ABI hub — the third language stecker after C# and Go, reaching the hub through R's native `.Call` interface (not extendr). ## What's here - **`bindings/r`** — an R package exposing all 514 indicators as constructors that return a `wickra_indicator` object with generic `update`/`batch`/`reset` methods. The C glue (`src/wickra.c`) and R wrappers (`R/indicators.R`) are generated from `bindings/c/include/wickra.h` (same archetype taxonomy as the C#/Go generators: scalar/batch, multi-output, bars, profile, profile-values, array-input). The opaque handle is an R external pointer freed by a registered finalizer; multi-output returns a named vector (`NA` at warmup), bars a matrix, profiles a list. - **`examples/r`** — the full example suite mirroring C/C#/Go: streaming, backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets (`mclapply`), three strategies, and `fetch_btcusdt`/`live_binance`. - **CI** — an `r` job builds the C ABI library, installs the package, runs the `testthat` suite and the offline examples on Linux, macOS and Windows (`R CMD check` is clean: 0 warnings, 0 notes). - **Docs** — R added to the README languages table, project layout, building/testing, CONTRIBUTING binding table + regenerate note, ARCHITECTURE, examples index, issue/PR templates, the About-description template, and the other binding READMEs. ## Linking / distribution The package compiles a thin `.Call` glue layer against the prebuilt C ABI library (header via `WICKRA_INCLUDE_DIR`, library via `WICKRA_LIB_DIR`). On Windows the package's own `wickra.dll` would collide with the C ABI's `wickra.dll`, so `configure.win` stages a renamed copy (`wickra_abi.dll`) and builds an import library referencing it; `install.libs.R` bundles the DLL and `.onLoad` puts it on the load path. On Linux/macOS the rpath locates the shared library. No `release.yml` change — R is distributed via r-universe / source install (gated). No Rust crate or `Cargo.toml` change — the R package is standalone and additive.

**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#, Go, 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 **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.
