[R] Rcpp, dyn.load and C++ problems

Hi,

  I have written a small C++ function and compile it.
  However in R I can't see the function I have defined in C++.
  I have read some web-pages about Rcpp and C++ but it is a bit confusion
for me.

Anyway,
  This is the C++-code:

#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
List compute_values_cpp(int totalPoints = 1e5, double angle_increment 0.01, int
radius = 400, double grow = 3.64) {
  double xn = 0.5;
  double angle = 0.1;
  double xn_plus_one, yn_plus_one;
  NumericVector x(totalPoints);
  NumericVector y(totalPoints);

  for (int i=0; i<totalPoints; i++) {
    xn_plus_one = xn*cos(angle)*radius;
    yn_plus_one = xn*sin(angle)*radius;
    angle += angle_increment;
    xn = grow*xn*(1-xn);
    x[i] = xn_plus_one;
    y[i] = yn_plus_one;
  }
  return List::create(Rcpp::Named("x") = x, Rcpp::Named("y")
= y);
}

And I compile it like this:
PKG_CXXFLAGS=$(Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()') \
PKG_LIBS=$(Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::LdFlags()')  \
R CMD SHLIB logistic_map.cpp
without problems and I get a logistic_map.so file as expected.

However in R:
R> dyn.load("logistic_map.so")
R> compute_values_cpp()
Error in compute_values_cpp() :
  could not find function "compute_values_cpp"

Please advise,
  What piece of the puzzle is missing?

Regards
Martin M. S. Pedersen

.Call("compute_values_cpp")
Also, if you were passing arguments to the C++ function you would need to
declare the function differently.
Do a search on "Rcpp calling C++ functions from R"

Thanks. However search for "Rcpp calling C++ functions from R" gives a
lot
of result but I think
some of them are outdated and others don't agree with each other.

Can you point to a specific good on-line guide for me?

Martin,

You are making your life way too complicated.

There are a number of things I would do differently:

0) Wrong list. Rcpp has its down, rcpp-devel, and I basically do not read
this and would have missed this were it not for luck.

3) You never ever need that with Rcpp and its tool, unless you insist on
redoing thing by hand in which case you _must_ use SEXP .Call(SEXP a, ...)

4) Keep reading. I will pivot to you other mails. Solution below.

5) Still wrong.

6) Call me crazy but maybe the nine vignettes included with the package?

In essence you _complitely_ missed what Rcpp Attributes does and shows, as
does the (newer) Rcpp Introduction vignette.

More crazy, your file was actually 100% correct. I just added three lines to
_also_ execute R code (and I indented just for clarity)

    /*** R
    res <- compute_values_cpp()
    str(res)
    */

Then in R:

    R> library(Rcpp)
    R> sourceCpp("/tmp/mmsp.cpp")
    
    R> res <- compute_values_cpp()
    
    R> str(res)
    List of 2
     $ x: num [1:100000] 199 362 118 302 262 ...
     $ y: num [1:100000] 20 40 14.3 39.5 36.9 ...
    
    R> 

_One call_ of sourceCpp() compiles AND links AND loads AND runs the example R
code (which is optional).

For reference, the current mmsp.cpp follows.

Dirk


#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
List compute_values_cpp(int totalPoints = 1e5, double angle_increment 0.01, int
radius = 400, double grow = 3.64) {
  double xn = 0.5;
  double angle = 0.1;
  double xn_plus_one, yn_plus_one;
  NumericVector x(totalPoints);
  NumericVector y(totalPoints);

  for (int i=0; i<totalPoints; i++) {
    xn_plus_one = xn*cos(angle)*radius;
    yn_plus_one = xn*sin(angle)*radius;
    angle += angle_increment;
    xn = grow*xn*(1-xn);
    x[i] = xn_plus_one;
    y[i] = yn_plus_one;
  }
  return List::create(Rcpp::Named("x") = x, Rcpp::Named("y")
= y);
}

/*** R
res <- compute_values_cpp()
str(res)
*/

OK. I did found the rcpp-devel mailing-list.
But I though it was a developers of the rcpp-package.
So it is ok to post beginners questions to rcpp-devel?

OK. I will print them and read them.

Basically I was searching for ways to compile to C++ code a single time and
not everything the R code runs.

Like I don't recompile my pure C++ programs everything I run them, only
if I change something.

But that is different with C++ in R? That it is normal to compile the C++
code
for each run?

Martin
