[Rcpp-devel] RcppGSL initial release

[Romain Francois]

Hello,

We pushed the initial release of RcppGSL to CRAN this morning. The 
package extends Rcpp in the direction of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL).

The package contains C++ classes (in the RcppGSL namespace) that act as 
smart pointers to associated GSL data structure, so for example 
RcppGSL::vector<double> is a smart pointer to gsl_vector. This allows us 
to plug in various constructors and operators to shadow some of the 
heavy syntax that C imposes to GSL.

The package contains an 11 pages vignette that explains the features in 
details, with examples. The vignette also details how to actually use 
RcppGSL, either in another package (best) or at the R prompt with inline.

We hope this package will be helpful to developers of CRAN packages that 
use the GSL.

Romain and Dirk
