To elaborate a bit: Am I off-base in thinking you can make a custom constructor for your class that calls R's new(), being careful to avoid circularity, that returns a blank instance to your method to be filled? Is something like the following anywhere near this? class MyClass { public: Bar(bool x_) : {} // for spawn Bar() : {} private: Bar spawn() { Environment meth("package:methods"); Function Rnew = meth["new"]; Rcpp::XPtr<MyClass> NewObj( Rnew(false) ); } }; -Christian -- A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal – Panama! _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
