[Rcpp-devel] calling a homegrown cpp function from my own package when using sourceCpp

[Romain Francois]

Hi, 

If both these functions will end up in the same package, then I’d suggest to put both files in the src directory and use devtools::load_all on your package root directory. 

Dirk’s recommendation is relevant bar is in its own package and calls foo from another package. Might not be what you want.

I've put the file foo.cpp with the function into the src dir of the package mypack; I've run compileAttributes and I can see the function in mypack_RcppExport.h and the automatically generated interface to the function is available in R (these Rcpp-attributes really make life easier).
