Develop high-performance C/C++ plugins for Stata using the stplugin.h SDK. Use when the user asks to create a Stata plugin, write C/C++ code for Stata, accelerate a Stata command with C, build cross-platform Stata plugins, or translate/port a Python or R package into Stata. Covers the full lifecycle: SDK setup, data flow, memory safety, .ado wrappers with preserve/merge, cross-platform compilation, performance optimization (pthreads, pre-sorted indices, XorShift RNG), debugging, and distribution via net install. Also includes a translation workflow for porting Python/R packages to Stata — wrapping existing C++ backends when available, or writing C from scratch when not.
