Hi Prof Ripley,
Thanks for the response & the use of the correct terminology. I've
checked the environment variables & there is none set called CC.
The .dll was definitely compiled using R CMD SHLIB. I'm not quite sure
what output you're referring to but at the command prompt when I enter:
...\bin> R CMD SHLIB summariseMCMC.C
I get the output:
g++ -I"C:/R/R-2.11.1/include" -02 -Wall summariseMCMC.c
summariseMCMC.o
g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o summariseMCMC.dll tmp.def
summariseMCMC.0 -LC:/R/R-2.11.1/bin -1R
Please let me know if I can try anything different provide any more
useful output.
Another source file I have (runUniformMCMC.C) compiles & runs perfectly
using the same approach, so I'm rather perplexed as to why this one gets
it's name mangled. It originally had actual code in it that did useful
things, but I stripped it back while I was trying to figure out what is
happening.
Thanks again,
Steve

Hi,
I'm trying to write a function in C for implementation with .Call.
When compiling using R CMD SHLIB characters seem to be added to the
function name.
Here's the complete C code from the file summariseMCMC.c:
#include<R.h>
#include<Rdefines.h>
#include<Rinternals.h>
void summariseMCMC(SEXP data) {
PROTECT(data=AS_NUMERIC(data));
UNPROTECT(1);
}
Then after compiling (R CMD SHLIB summariseMCMC.c) & loading the .dll
dyn.load("C:/R/R-2.11.1/bin/summariseMCMC.dll")
is.loaded("_Z13summariseMCMCP7SEXPREC")
[1] TRUE
is.loaded("summariseMCMC")
[1] FALSE
Just wondering if anyone had any pointers for getting rid of this, or
have I missed something outrageously obvious?
You have. This was not done by'R CMD SHLIB', but by a C++ compiler -- it
is called 'name mangling'. Unfortunately you didn't show us the output
from that command, when the cause would probably have been 'outrageously
obvious'.
The fix is to make sure you use a C compiler to compile C code, and
we've almost no idea why that is not being done on your system.
But as a guess, check that the environment variable CC is not set.
Thanks,
Steve
