[Rcpp-devel] RcppArmadillo and Rdefines

[William Dunlap]

Do you really need the macros like GET_LENGTH that are defined in
   #include <Rdefines.h>
?  It looks like they are meant to ease porting of C code written for S or
S+,
but very little code these days is written for S or S+ and certainly not
Rcpp
code.
