Rcpp release 0.9.15
is now on CRAN and being uploaded to Debian.
Martin Morgan provided a clever fix for a header search needed between
clang++ (especially on OS X) and g++ (which still provided libstdc++ and
headers for clang++). This should hopefully put the clang issues to bed.
Ben North noticed an unprotected string conversion when exception messages
are turned into R errors which got fixed, and I expanded the coverage of Date
(and Datetime
) types to deal
properly with non-finite values NA
, NaN
and Inf
.
The complete NEWS
entry for 0.9.15 is below; more details are in the ChangeLog file in the package and on the
Rcpp Changelog page.
