I've implemented an R Connections API for packages writers and those
embedding R into other systems. The patch is here:
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/RApacheProject/Conn-patch-R-devel-r39773.patch
and I've started an R wiki for discussion here:
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=developers:r_connections_api
Main points:
1) C code can create new connections and pass them back to R.
2) R code can utilize them just like existing connections.
3) C code can also utilize them.
3) stdin, stdout, and stderr connections can be replaced with something
else.
Comments much appreciated,
Jeff
