[Rd] Rcpp 1.1: R/C++ interface class library update
Hello, Based on feedback from this list I have updated the Rcpp R/C++ interface class library and uploaded the new version to CRAN. Just as the .C interface can be viewed as a C programmer-friendly version of the more demanding .Call interface, Rcpp essentially provides a C++ programmer-friendly version of the .Call interface, with automatic type checking and error reporting via a try/catch protocol. Rcpp also eliminates the need to work with the low-level SEXP macros. The API documentation is in RHOME/library/Rcpp/doc/RcppAPI.pdf. If there is interest in providing a supported C++ API for R, then Rcpp might be a useful starting point. The RQuantLib package has also been updated to use the new version of Rcpp. Dominick
