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 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;

Hello, I am observing the following strange behavior when I try to load a shared library using dyn.load() under Linux... The library foo.so refers to a symbol in another package bar (with shared library bar.so), I get: dyn.load('foo.so') # error message because I forgot to load bar library(bar) # so I fix it dyn.load('foo.so') # works this time and everything is fine But, if

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.

The package cxxPack builds without problems at CRAN under all OS's except Windows 64bit, and in the case of Windows 64bit there is a problem in a call to dyn.load(). This call happens while processing the package vignette, and the odd thing about this is that there are several calls to dyn.load() that work fine before the one that fails. This seems to suggest that Windows 64bit is imposing

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

I wrote the Rcpp library and the RcppTemplate package to make it easier for developers to contribute packages to the R community. In addition to providing detailed documentation on package creation it provides a clean object mapping between R anc C++ that helps developers to implement packages that benefit from the performance of C++ and the flexibility of R. The package named 'Rcpp' was

Thanks for the detailed feedback Tomas, I ran the command 'pacman -Syuu' again, just to be sure, and this time it says "there is nothing to do." It appears that gdb is working. I was spooked by the diagnostics that you say is a known (not serious) issue. My mistake was not setting a breakpoint on main, so I confused problems with gdb with problems with the program I'm

Thanks, But this didn't work. It installs msys2 along with lots of other stuff, and gdb would not start as before (missing DLL's). Then I tried to run the command you suggested again, and there was a warning from the package manager about a cycle detected, but now gdb starts with the following messages... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", ine 3, in

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]]

Hello, The procedure for creating an import library (Rdll.lib) that is documented in gnuwin32/README.packages works fine using the i386 architecture, but it doesn't seem to work under x64. Specifically, the procedure is: pexports R.dll > R.exp lib /def:R.exp /out:Rdll.lib /machine:X86 R.dll There are two issues under x64: 1. Older version of pexports crash when applied to an x64 R.dll.

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

Hello, I tried installing gdb into Rtools42 following the instructions here https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/howto-R-4.2.html I ran 'pacman -Sy gdb', and the installation seemed to complete without problems. But gdb could not be started because incorrect DLL versions were installed, in particular, the missing DLL's are: msys-ffi-8.dll and msys-unistring-5.dll. Is there

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

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, 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
