Tidy C++ Header-Only Definitions for Parts of the C API of R

Core parts of the C API of R are wrapped in a C++ namespace via a set of inline functions giving a tidier representation of the underlying data structures and functionality using a header-only implementation without additional dependencies.

'Asio' C++ Header Files

'Asio' is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach. It is also included in Boost but requires linking when used with Boost. Standalone it can be used header-only (provided a recent compiler). 'Asio' is written and maintained by Christopher M. Kohlhoff, and released under the 'Boost Software License', Version 1.0.

'ViennaCL' C++ Header Files

'ViennaCL' is a free open-source linear algebra library for computations on many-core architectures (GPUs, MIC) and multi-core CPUs. The library is written in C++ and supports 'CUDA', 'OpenCL', and 'OpenMP' (including switches at runtime). I have placed these libraries in this package as a more efficient distribution system for CRAN. The idea is that you can write a package that depends on the 'ViennaCL' library and yet you do not need to distribute a copy of this code with your package.

C-Like 'getopt' Behavior

Package designed to be used with Rscript to write '#!' shebang scripts that accept short and long flags/options. Many users will prefer using instead the packages optparse or argparse which add extra features like automatically generated help option and usage, support for default values, positional argument support, etc.

Adaptive Multivariate Integration over Hypercubes

R wrappers around the cubature C library of Steven G. Johnson for adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes and the Cuba C library of Thomas Hahn for deterministic and Monte Carlo integration. Scalar and vector interfaces for cubature and Cuba routines are provided; the vector interfaces are highly recommended as demonstrated in the package vignette.

C++ Classes to Embed R in C++ (and C) Applications

C++ classes to embed R in C++ (and C) applications A C++ class providing the R interpreter is offered by this package making it easier to have "R inside" your C++ application. As R itself is embedded into your application, a shared library build of R is required. This works on Linux, OS X and even on Windows provided you use the same tools used to build R itself. Numerous examples are provided in the nine subdirectories of the examples/ directory of the installed package: standard, 'mpi' (for parallel computing), 'qt' (showing how to embed 'RInside' inside a Qt GUI application), 'wt' (showing how to build a "web-application" using the Wt toolkit), 'armadillo' (for 'RInside' use with 'RcppArmadillo'), 'eigen' (for 'RInside' use with 'RcppEigen'), and 'c_interface' for a basic C interface and 'Ruby' illustration. The examples use 'GNUmakefile(s)' with GNU extensions, so a GNU make is required (and will use the 'GNUmakefile' automatically). 'Doxygen'-generated documentation of the C++ classes is available at the 'RInside' website as well.

Translates an R Function to a C++ Function

Enable translation of a tiny subset of R to C++. The user has to define a R function which gets translated. For a full list of possible functions check the documentation. After translation an R function is returned which is a shallow wrapper around the C++ code. Alternatively an external pointer to the C++ function is returned to the user. The intention of the package is to generate fast functions which can be used as ode-system or during optimization.

Global Optimization by Differential Evolution in C++

An efficient C++ based implementation of the 'DEoptim' function which performs global optimization by differential evolution. Its creation was motivated by trying to see if the old approximation "easier, shorter, faster: pick any two" could in fact be extended to achieving all three goals while moving the code from plain old C to modern C++. The initial version did in fact do so, but a good part of the gain was due to an implicit code review which eliminated a few inefficiencies which have since been eliminated in 'DEoptim'.

"Cereal Headers for R and C++ Serialization"

To facilitate using 'cereal' with R via 'cpp11' or 'Rcpp'. 'cereal' is a header-only C++11 serialization library. 'cereal' takes arbitrary data types and reversibly turns them into different representations, such as compact binary encodings, 'XML', or 'JSON'. 'cereal' was designed to be fast, light-weight, and easy to extend - it has no external dependencies and can be easily bundled with other code or used standalone. Please see < https://uscilab.github.io/cereal/> for more information.

R Interface to Google RE2 (C++) Regular Expression Library

Pattern matching, extraction, replacement and other string processing operations using Google's RE2 < https://github.com/google/re2> regular-expression engine. Consistent interface (similar to 'stringr'). RE2 uses finite-automata based techniques, and offers a fast and safe alternative to backtracking regular-expression engines like those used in 'stringr', 'stringi' and other PCRE implementations.
