similar to: Rcpp: Clarifying the meaning of GPL?

It appears that my archived packages Rcpp and RcppTemplate have been removed at CRAN, yet they appeared in the CRAN archives until recently. What is the CRAN policy on archives and removal? Thanks, Dominick [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This post asks members of the R community, users and developers, to comment on issues related to the GNU Public License and R community policies more generally. The GPL says very little about protecting the the rights of original contributors by not disseminating misleading information about them. Indeed, for pragmatic reasons it effectively assumes that original authors have no rights regarding

On second thought, there is a lot of metapramming code in Rcpp that runs before main, so I was wrong to say nothing can happen before main() is called. Strategically placed print statements may be the best strategy.

Hello, I submitted the package RcppTemplate to CRAN a couple of weeks ago but the Mac OS X binary has not appeared, and the person in charge of that process (Simon) suspects that the problem may be due to a "nested DESCRIPTION file" so that "Package:" becomes RcppTemplateRcppTemplate, or something like this. Can somebody explain what a nested DESCRIPTION file is so I can

Dear all, After a bit of reading I came across the Rcpp example package. There are a few classes that I would like to use and I am not sure how best to include them in my own package. Is it best to compile it as an independent library and link to it? Or is there some way to `require` it for my own package? Re-write using the code as an example (unsure how best to do this at this moment, as

Hi, I am trying to create an R interface for Dynare++ [1], a k-order solver for rational expectation models. I would like some advice on how to glue the C++ code to R. In C++, it works the following way: - a DynareModelEq object is initialized with the formulas, parses them and performs k-order symbolic expansions - the user calls a member of this object multiple times with parameter

Hello, After much tinkering I managed to build packages using the 64bit version of R with the help of hints from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/Win64/W64porting.html and R-admin Manual. But a hack was required, and this seems to be related to a comment about underscores at the end of the second reference above (but this comment is about FUTURE

It appears that the runtime for an R script can more than double if a few references to a function foo() are replaced by more explict references of the form pkgname::foo(). The more explicit references are of course required when two loaded packages define the same function. I can understand why use of this mechanism is not free in an interpreted environment like R, but the cost seems rather

There appears to be a bug in RUnit. Given a testsuite testsuite.math, say, when I run: runTestSuite(testsuite.math) this works fine, provided there are no extraneous files in the unit test subdirectory. But if there are any Emacs temp files (with names that end with '~') then runTestSuite gets confused and tries to run functions from the temp files as well. [[alternative HTML version

FYI, one platform where I have not been able to get interactive rgl working is iOS 8. iOS 8 is supposed to support WebGL, and Javascript is enabled.

Hello, I am trying to call the BLAS Level1 function zdotc from R via a .C call like this: #include "R.h" #include "R_ext/BLAS.h" void testzdotc() { Rcomplex zx[3], zy[3], ret_val; zx[0].r = 1.0; zx[0].i = 0.0; zx[1].r = 2.0; zx[0].i = 0.0; zx[2].r = 3.0; zx[0].i = 0.0; zy[0].r = 1.0; zy[0].i = 0.0; zy[1].r = 2.0; zy[0].i = 0.0; zy[2].r = 3.0;

Is it possible to set Windows' search path from within R, or to tell Windows how to find a DLL in some other way from R? Specifically, if a package DLL depends on another DLL the normal requirement is that the second DLL be in the search path so Windows can find it (there are other tricks, but they apply at the Windows level, not at the R level).

Hello, When I try to install Rtools in the usual way into C:\Rtools on a new Windows 8.1 desktop it stalls near the beginning of the "Extracting files..." step. The Task Manager Status for the Setup app shows "Not responding" and it takes a long time to complete the installation, in spite of the fact that this is a fast machine (Intel i7) with 16 GB if RAM. There were no

New Rcpp versions 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 --------------------------------- The Rcpp package provides C++ classes that greatly facilitate interfacing C or C++ code in R packages using the .Call() interface provided by R. Rcpp provides matching C++ classes for a large number of basic R data types. Hence, a package author can keep his data in normal R data structure without having to worry about

Hi All, I am in the process of writing an R extension in c++ and am using several STL containers (e.g., vector<double>, map<int, double>, multimap<int, double>). I make sure to clear all these containers at the end of the .Call. Everything compiles and runs just fine, but I'm a bit worried since I haven't found any other packages that use STL. So, my question: is it

Consider the C (or C++) code called from the .Call interface: SEXP foo() { SEXP *p = PROTECT(allocVector(REALSXP, 10)); ... UNPROTECT(1); return p; } Why is there no danger that the allocated memory will be garbage collected after the UNPROTECT, but before the return of p? I have used code like this for some time and have never had a problem, but I'm not sure if/why it is guaranteed

Hello, I am encountering problems when there is a '%' character in package .Rd files. More precisely, CRAN is having problems with these characters when running check, whereas I am not seeing any problems under Linux and Windows. I did see these problems, and found that escaping the %'s fixes the problem in my testing, but apparently this does not fix the problem when check is run at
