[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp equivalent of sample()?

[Chris DuBois]

Thanks Dirk.  Quick newbie followup question: Can we put functions within
the inline C++ code?  The following doesn't compile, for example:
src <- '
int addition (int a, int b)
{
  int r;
  r=a+b;
  return (r);
}
NumericVector xx(x);
return(xx);
'
testfun = cxxfunction(signature(x="numeric"),body=src,plugin="Rcpp")

On a related note, would you mind showing a quick working example using
std::accumulate?  The one below from the quick reference doesn't compile for
me.

Thanks in advance.
Chris

std::accumulate( xx.begin(), xx.end(),std::plus<double>(), 0.0 );
