R devel - Aug 2010 - Feature request: put NewEnvironment and R_NewhashedEnv into API

Hi,

as Seth Falcon in 2006, I also need to create new environments from package C
code. Unfortunately, both NewEnvironment and R_NewHashedEnv are not yet part of
the public API, if I understand correctly.

Is it planned to add at least one of these functions to the public API in the
near future? May I submit a patch? Otherwise I would need to re-implement much
of the functionality of R environments in my own code.


Many thanks and best regards

Oliver

What about allocSExp(ENVSXP)? Then SET_ENCLOS() to set the parent? Seems to
work for me.
