I've been working on a shared library that will be called from R. The
functions pass several vectors in and out (residuals, parameters, etc) and I
would like to be able to return a list of objects. I'm familiar with return
single objects (vectors, etc) from a C function, but need a little help for
returning a list of objects.
My code so far looks something like:
/* this function will perform the same tasks as the previous */
/* and return a list of the values rather than just the */
/* optimal values. It should return the optimization info as */
/* well as the residual values from the flikam function */
SEXP testfunc2(
SEXP *pq,
SEXP *obs )
{
int i;
double *pq_vect;
double *obs_vect;
SEXP ret_val;
PROTECT( pq = coerceVector( pq, REALSXP ) );
PROTECT( obs = coerceVector( obs, REALSXP ) );
pq_vect = REAL( pq );
obs_vect = REAL( obs );
/* call my functions for the results */
/* generate the output list */
PROTECT( ret_val = allocVector( VECSXP, NPQ ) );
for( i = 0; i < NPQ; i++ )
{
//REAL(ret_val)[i] = XMIN[i];
//PROTECT( ret_val = allocVector( VECSXP, NPQ ) );
//SET_VECTOR_ELT( ret_val, i, 3.14159 );
//SET_VECTOR_ELT( ret_val, i, pq );
/* generate the output vector */
/* PROTECT( ret_val = allocVector( REALSXP, NPQ ) ); */
/* for( i = 0; i < NPQ; i++ ) */
/* { */
/* REAL(ret_val)[i] = XMIN[i]; */
/* } */
}
UNPROTECT( 3 );
return ret_val;
}
What package would be a good example of how to do this?
Jeff.
