Benjamin, You happened to send a link which points to the OP's own package :) I think Jiefei would like to know how one can "officially" determine if an arbitrary ALTERP object belongs to a class that he owns.

Thank Denes for the clarification, glad to see my package got one citation from my own question:) Also, thank Benjamin for sending many useful documents. Actually, the question is related to the SharedObject package that Benjamin has pointed to. I wanna avoid sharing an object that has already been shared, so I need to check whether an object is an ALTREP that is defined in my package. Since the

Argh, I am sorry! I did not notice that. My best bet for what I thought the question was is section 1.1.2 of R Internals where they note that: `unsigned int alt : 1; /* is

It seems as if you can you use the ALTREP macro as done in this package: https://github.com/Jiefei-Wang/SharedObject/blob/804b6ac58c63a4bae95343ab43e8b1547b07ee6b/src/C_interface.cpp#L185 and in base R: https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/54fbdca9d3fc63437d9e697f442d32732fb4f443/src/include/Rinlinedfuns.h#L118 The macro is defined here in Rinternals.h:

Hello, I have encountered two bugs when using ALTREP APIs. 1. STDVEC_DATAPTR >From RInternal.h file it has a comment: /* ALTREP support */ > void *(STDVEC_DATAPTR)(SEXP x); However, this comment might not be true, the easiest way to verify it is to define a C++ function: void C_testFunc(SEXP a) > { > STDVEC_DATAPTR(a); > } and call it in R via > a=1:10 > >

Hello Luke and Gabriel, Thank you very much for your quick responses. The explanation of STDVEC is very helpful and I appreciate it! For the wrapper, I have a few new questions. 1. Like Luke said a mutable object is not possible. However, I noticed that there is one extra argument *deep* in the function duplicate. I've googled all the available documentation for ALTREP but I did not find

I am not able to #include "R_ext/Altrep.h" from a C++ file. I think it needs two changes: 1. add the same __cplusplus check as most of the other header files: #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif ... #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif 2. change the line R_new_altrep(R_altrep_class_t class, SEXP data1, SEXP data2); to

Hi all, I'm wondering if there is any way to define a `SET_ELT` function for an ALTREP class? I see there are ` ALTINTEGER_SET_ELT` etc. functions exported in Rinternal.h, but there is no corresponding ALTREP APIs to define them. The only way to set the value of an ALTREP is through a pointer, which will require that the ALTREP data is in memory. Is it on purpose? Will there be any plan to

Hi devel team, I'm working on C/C++ level ALTREP compatibility for a package. The package previously used pointers to access the data of a SEXP, so it would not work for some ALTREP objects which do not have a pointer. I plan to rewrite the code and use functions like get_elt, get_region, and get_subset to access the values of a vector, so I have a few questions for ALTREP: 1. Since an

Sorry for post a lot of things, for the first part of code, I copied my C++ iter macro by mistake(and you can see an explicit type casting). Here is the macro definition from R_exts/Itermacros.h #define ITERATE_BY_REGION_PARTIAL(sx, px, idx, nb, etype, vtype, \ strt, nfull, expr) do { \ * const** etype *px = DATAPTR_OR_NULL(sx); *

Hi, I would like to figure out the meaning of the return value of these two functions. Here are the default definitions I find from R source code: static int altreal_Is_sorted_default(SEXP x) { return UNKNOWN_SORTEDNESS; } static int altreal_No_NA_default(SEXP x) { return 0; } I guess the macro *UNKNOWN_SORTEDNESS *in *Is_sorted* and 0 in *No_NA *simply means unknown sorted/NA status of

Hi Bob, Thanks for sending around the link to that. It looks mostly right and looks like a useful onramp. There are a few things to watch out for though (I've cc'ed Romain so he's aware of these comments). @romain I hope you taake the following comments as they are intended, as help rather than attacks. The largest issue I see is that the contract for Get_region is that it *populates

Oops, I think both of us forget to cite the r-devel channel.

Hi all, The coercion function defined for the ALTREP object will not be called by R when an assignment operation implicitly introduces coercion for a large ALTREP object. For example, If I create a vector of length 10, the ALTREP coercion function seems to work fine. ``` > x <- 1:10 > y <- wrap_altrep(x) > .Internal(inspect(y)) @0x000000001f9271c0 13 INTSXP g0c0 [REF(2)] I am

Hi, I am Linux Ubuntu 9.04 user. I'm using R-2.6. Actually, I am developing R package for reading/writing 3D images. I needed to use the R package Rcpp in order to make profit of available C/C++ codes. My problem is that my C code is not able to include the Rcpp.h In fact, when I run this command R CMD build rply, I got the following error message in the file

Jiefei, you did not commit all files into the example package - your example has things like RcppExports.cpp as well as additional flags which are not in your GH project. I suspect the issue is with the extra flags you're adding - those don't come from R. Please make sure you can replicate the issue with the GH package you created. Cheers, Simon * installing *source* package

Hi, I'd like to link Clang against the STP theorem prover. Since Clang is built by the LLVM build system, I hope this is the correct place to ask for advice. The attached patch allows me to pass `configure` a --with-stp option and provide a path to the install prefix for STP. However, I am not familiar with autoconf, so I am not confident that my changes are the correct way to do this. I

Hi, I am curious about whether there exist thread-safe functions in `Rinternals.h`. I know that R is single-threaded designed, but for the simple and straightforward functions like `DATAPTR` and `INTEGER_GET_REGION`, are these functions safe to call in a multi-thread environment?
