Andy,
it seems you simply want a creator function in C++ which creates a
simulation object, which you then modify and alter in R, possibly give back
to C++ etc. Is that correct?
In the case, Rcpp can help easily.
Andy,
I second Dirk's answer, with the following addition. My
"simulation object" (SO) was a bit big, and I was loosing a lot of
time to copy operations (not sure if this is Rcpp's fault or my
lack of coding skill). My solution was to use classes. I code, in
C++, my SO as a class. I use the Rcpp class interface to write R
wrappers to the functions which manipulate the state of the SO.
To run a simulation, I load the module into R, create an instance
of the class, then run the simulation via the R functions which
are linked to the SO functions.
I am sure there is a more elegant way, but this approach works.
