Hi folks,
I apologise if this is in the documentation somewhere, but I can't
seem to find it. I also did a search of CRAN without any success. I'm
using R-1.8.1 (pre-compiled) on Windows 2000 with Rtools and mingw 2.0.0
(which includes gcc/g++ 3.2).
I'm trying to link some C++ code from another application to R using the
.Call interface and am experiencing some problems. I was able to compile
and link the example from Section 4.6 in R-exts.pdf without any
difficulty. But if I take a more complicated example that uses SEXP I'm
able to compile but not link. Here's an example:
Take the "lapply2" code on page 49 of R-exts.pdf and save to
"test.c".
Be sure to add
#include <R.h>
#include <Rdefines.h>
to the top of the file.
Now at the command line type:
> Rcmd SHLIB test.c
making test.d from test.c
gcc -Id:/R/rw1081/src/include -Wall -O2 -c test.c -o test.o
ar cr test.a *.o
ranlib test.a
gcc --shared -s -o test.dll test.def test.a
-Ld:/R/rw1081/src/gnuwin32 -lg2c -lR
Works fine (though I haven't tested in R but at least the dll is
created). Now remove all files except "test.c" and rename to
"test.cpp".

Adding extern "C" {} does not help the problem. Can anybody replicate
this? Is there something I'm missing?

Here's an example: ><snip>> Adding extern "C" {} does not help the problem. Can anybody replicate > this? Is there something I'm missing?Did you put extern "C" {} around the #include as well? Using R/doc/manual/R-exts.c and the driver in R/doc/manual/R-exts.R I don't have any problems if I rename R-exts.c to R-exts.cpp as long as the extern "C" {} surrounds the headers as well as the code. In my case (on OS X) the error when I don't do this comes at load time rather than compile time, and it's clear that the problem is C++ name mangling Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/Users/thomas/R-exts.so": dlcompat: dyld: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin Undefined symbols: __Z10Rf_findVarP7SEXPRECS0_ __Z10Rf_installPKc __Z10Rf_protectP7SEXPREC __Z10STRING_ELTP7SEXPRECi __Z10VECTOR_ELTP7SEXPRECi __Z11Rf_isStringP7SEXPREC __Z12Rf_defineVarP7SEXPRECS0_S0_ __Z12Rf_ge>An unusual example of it being easier to debug a shared library problem under Mac OS X ;) -thomas

Can anybody replicate > this? Is there something I'm missing?You need to do that. If I wrap the whole file (including the #includes) in that, it works for me. -- Brian D.
