[Rcpp-devel] Simplest Class Example For Starters

[ivo welch]

thx, dirk.  first, apologies for multiposting earlier.  I thought it did
not allow me to post from my non-registered email address.  second,
apologies for the private email.  I wasn't expecting any answers.  just
wanted to help with some feedback.  I will buy your Rcpp book when it comes
out.

I think you are correct that modules are too tough for me.  heck, I don't
even write R packages.  I am just an end user.  I would have to learn how
to write and build those first.  so, I think I will want to go the accessor
function route.  can cppFunction() allow me to define structures?  I am
just trying something super-simple here:

library( Rcpp )
cppFunction('
struct Silly {
  double *v; int k;
};
void hello(int i) { printf("hello, world\n"); }
')
cat("Compiled OK\n")


but it fails, both on the printf and on the structure definition.  I am
wondering whether cppFunction can just handle single functions and without
quotation marks.

regards,

/iaw
