 Description: GNU R / C++ interface classes and examples
- The Rcpp package map data types betweeen R and C++, 
- and includes support for R types real, integer, character, 
- vector, matrix, Date, datetime (i.e. POSIXct) data frame, 
- and function. It supports calling R functions from C++. 
+ The Rcpp package contains a C++ library that facilitates the integration of
+ R and C++ in various ways.
+ .
+ R data types (SEXP) are matched to C++ objects in a class hierarchy.  All R
+ types are supported (vectors, functions, environment, etc ...)  and each
+ type is mapped to a dedicated class. For example, numeric vectors are
+ represented as instances of the Rcpp::NumericVector class, environments are
+ represented as instances of Rcpp::Environment, functions are represented as
+ Rcpp::Function, etc ...
+ .
+ The underlying C++ library also offers the Rcpp::wrap function which is a
+ templated function that transforms an arbitrary object into a SEXP.  This
+ makes it straightforward to implement C++ logic in terms of standard C++
+ types such as STL containers and then wrap them when they need to be
+ returned to R. Internally, wrap uses advanced template meta programming
+ techniques and currently supports : primitive types (bool, int, double,
+ size_t, Rbyte, Rcomplex, std::string), STL containers (e.g std::vector<T>)
+ where T is wrappable, STL maps (e.g std::map<std::string,T>) where T is
+ wrappable, and arbitrary types that support implicit conversion to SEXP.
+ .
+ The reverse conversion (from R to C++) is performed by the Rcpp::as function
+ template offering a similar degree of flexibility.
+ .
+ The package also contains a set of classes---which we call the `classic Rcpp
+ API'---that were provided in an earlier API for R and C++ integration. Due
+ to its continued use, the classic API is retained and will be supported for
+ the foreseable future. The classic API includes support for R types real,
+ integer, character, vector, matrix, Date, datetime (i.e.  POSIXct) at
+ microsecond resolution, data frame, and function. Transfer to and from
+ simple or complex SEXP objects is made easy thanks to automatic conversion
+ made possible by C++ template conversion. Calling R functions from C++ is
+ also supported.
+ .
+ C++ code can be 'inlined' by using the 'inline' package which will create a
+ C++ function and compile, link and load it given the 'inlined' character
+ argument which makes C++ integration very easy.
+ .
+ Several examples are included, and over 150 unit tests provide addtional
+ usage examples.
