A quick nine days after
release 0.7.2
of Rcpp,
our R / C++ interface classes,
Romain and I are happy to roll out a new
version 0.7.3.
It has been uploaded to
CRAN and
Debian, and mirrors should have the new
versions shortly. As before, my local page is
also available for downloads and some more details.
This release combines a number of under-the-hood fixes and enhancements with
one bug fix:
- The
Rcpp:::LdFlags()
helper function to dynamically provide
linker options for packages using
Rcpp now defaults
to static linking on OS X as well. For installation from source dynamic
linking always worked, but not for binary installation (as e.g. from
CRAN). As on the other platforms,
this default can be overridden. Thanks to the
phylobase
team for patient help in tracking this down. - Accessing various types via
[]
should now be faster due to some
enhancements in the internal representations. configure
now has a command-line option (as well as an
environment variable) to select support for the draft of the upcoming C++0x
standard.- A new function
Rcpp.package.skeleton()
, modelled after
package.skeleton()
in R itself, helps to set up a new package
with support for using
Rcpp. - A number of other minor tweaks and improvements…
As always, full details are in the ChangeLog on the
Rcpp page which also
leads to the downloads, the
browseable
doxygen docs and zip files of doxygen output for the standard formats.
Questions, comments etc should go to the
rcpp-devel mailing list
off the R-Forge page
