[Rcpp-devel] RcppEigen: Getting and setting dimnames of sparse matrix

[Søren Højsgaard]

Thanks Doug,

I made an example illustrating this for the Rcpp gallery - AND I forgot to acknowledge you in the example. That was a mistake - sorry!

Regards
Søren

On thinking about this a bit more, the dimnames should be cloned before being assigned, otherwise you end up with two references to the same storage.  And once you try to clone you get into the SlotProxy area where you need to know what you are cloning.  One way of doing this is shown in the enclosed.  An alternative is

Xout.slot("Dimnames") = clone(as<SEXP>((Xin.slot("Dimnames"))));
