[Rcpp-devel] Exposing a large number of C++ classes in R

[Whit Armstrong]

I've been thinking for a while about using clang to do source-to-source
translation to generate the R bindings for a given c++ class.

There are lots of examples online, but I haven't yet tackled this for R.

http://szelei.me/code-generator/
etc.

good luck!
