The 'HighFive' 'C++' Interface to 'HDF5'

A modern idiomatic header-only 'C++'' interface for 'libhdf5'. Original software can be found at < https://github.com/highfive-devs/highfive/>.

'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.

Open Source Geometry Engine ('GEOS') C API

Provides the Open Source Geometry Engine ('GEOS') as a C API that can be used to write high-performance C and C++ geometry operations using R as an interface. Headers are provided to make linking to and using these functions from C++ code as easy and as safe as possible. This package contains an internal copy of the 'GEOS' library to guarantee the best possible consistency on multiple platforms.

'MsgPack' C++ Header Files and Interface Functions for R

'MsgPack' header files are provided for use by R packages, along with the ability to access, create and alter 'MsgPack' objects directly from R. 'MsgPack' is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like 'JSON' but it is faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves. This package provides headers from the 'msgpack-c' implementation for C and C++(11) for use by R, particularly 'Rcpp'. The included 'msgpack-c' headers are licensed under the Boost Software License (Version 1.0); the code added by this package as well the R integration are licensed under the GPL (>= 2). See the files 'COPYRIGHTS' and 'AUTHORS' for a full list of copyright holders and contributors to 'msgpack-c'.

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.

Wrapper for 'lz-string' 'C++' Library

Provide access to the 'lz-string' < http://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string/index.html> 'C++' library for Lempel-Ziv (LZ) based compression and decompression of strings.

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'.

Approximate String Matching, Fuzzy Text Search, and String Distance Functions

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native 'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well. Reference: MPJ van der Loo (2014) .

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.
