[Rcpp-devel] RcppEigen: Avoiding accessing elements with coeff(i, j) in sparse matrix

Two other small points.  I am assuming that the set of indices in the
second argument is sorted.  Also, it would be best to declare the function
as

bool foo(const MSpMat X, const Eigen::Map<Eigen::VectorXi> idx) as in the
enclosed
