[Rcpp-devel] Maximum Columns in Rcpp DataFrame (revisited)

[Steffen Neumann]

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer. I didn't find how to *easily* 
populate my list with named elements without fiddling 
with the names attribute, so I ended up creating
two dataframes and then cbinding them from within C++

Rcpp::Language("cbind", allScanHeaderInfo, allScanHeaderInfo2).eval() ; 

Yours,
Steffen
