[Rcpp-devel] Thoughts on "wrapping" attributes

[JJ Allaire]

There is one way currently to get type definitions into RcppExports.cpp --
simply add a header file with the same name as your package to
inst/include. For example, if your package is named "foobar" then you place
the type definitions in:

inst/include/foobar.h

This file will be automatically included in RcppExports.cpp. It will also
be automatically included when another user does an Rcpp::depends on your
package (for sourceCpp or compileAttributes) so they get the benefit of the
type definitions as well).
