<p class="MsoNormal">By my understanding, Rcpp is better suited to working with data-frames as columns rather than working with data-frames as a set of rows. However, occasionally it may be useful to work with the set of rows. How have others considered this
use case? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[As a motivating example based on simulations in C++, we want to pass data-frames from R for use as look-up tables in C++ (cf. passing transformed data back to R). The STL container std::map is well suited to this task, particularly as
it provides ordered keys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the following code, we define a template class Table1D which reads in a data-frame and defines the map key with the first column and the map value with the second column. The only sophistication here is (i) using std::greater as a comparison
function and (ii) using Rcpp traits. Note that calling the function from R is only shown for demonstration.<o:p></o:p></p>
