[Rcpp-devel] expose functions dynamically

[David Bellot]

Hi,

I'd like to dynamically add functions to a module when I call one of its
function. Later I will want to do the same for classes too, so that to
create classes "on the fly".

But for the moment, here is what I try to do and it doesn't work, because I
can't see my dynamically created function in R

#include <Rcpp.h>

using namespace Rcpp;

double foobar(int x)
{
    return x*2.0;
}

void makef()
{
    function("dynfoo",&foobar);
}

RCPP_MODULE(test1)
{
    function("foobar",foobar);
    function("makef",&makef);
}

Then in R, I call the function makef hoping to see the function dynfoo
appears in my global environment in R. It's not the case. I suspect a
problem with scope (or something like that) ?

- What is the correct way to do that ?
- Can I create my functions in other environment too ?

Best,
David
