[Rcpp-devel] Variable for loop

[Avraham Adler]

Hello.

Once again, it is very unclear what you want to do. Can you please
explain, in English not code what your procedure intends to do, the
input you expect, and the output you expect?

What it LOOKS like you want to do is to create an N x M x N cube where
the first slice is your matrix and the remaining slices are all 0. If
that is the case, There are much, much simpler ways to do it than to
traverse all N²M cells. The following should work.

#include <RcppArmadillo.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
using namespace RcppArmadillo;
//[[Rcpp::depends(RcppArmadillo)]]

//[[Rcpp::export]]
arma::cube fillup(arma::mat a){
  int m = a.n_cols;
  int n = a.n_rows;
  arma::cube C = arma::cube(n, m, n, arma::fill::zeros);

  C.slice(0) = a;

  return(C);
}
