[Rcpp-devel] Broken (undone) Rmath functions

[Lovett, Mitch]

Thanks! 

I ran into another compile error in code that compiled with no problem prior to installing the latest versions of Rcpp/RcppArmadillo. It appears related to the changes in the RcppArmadillo package or armadillo code. This is from a machine running MacOsX 

g++ -arch x86_64 -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include/x86_64  -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11/Resources/library/Rcpp/include -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RcppArmadillo/include" -I/usr/local/include    -fPIC  -g -O2 -c cS5like.cpp -o cS5like.o
In file included from /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RcppArmadillo/include/armadillo:27,
                 from /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RcppArmadillo/include/RcppArmadilloForward.h:36,
                 from /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RcppArmadillo/include/RcppArmadillo.h:25,
                 from cS5like.cpp:4:
/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/fstream:596: error: 'trunc' is not a member of 'std::ios_base'
/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/fstream:650: error: 'trunc' is not a member of 'std::ios_base'


Also, line 4 of CS5like.cpp is 

#include <RcppArmadillo.h>

Thanks,
Mitch

yes.

You can just prefix your calls with Rf_, so instead of calling dnorm, 
you call Rf_dnorm, etc ...

You can use the RCPP_VERSION macro if you want this to work accross Rcpp 
versions, something like :

#if defined(RCPP_VERSION) && RCPP_VERSION >= Rcpp_Version(0,8,6)
# define my_dnorm Rf_dnorm
#else
# define my_dnorm dnorm
#endif
