I recently asked a question about Rcpp Attributes subsuming the functionality of the inline package here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27744383/is-the-inline-package-redundant-yet-for-rcpp Dirk confirmed that Rcpp Attributes are fully functional vis-a-vis the inline package.
As a follow on question, I wanted to know when, if ever, Rcpp Attributes can fully replace the use of Rcpp Modules. I am aware that Rcpp Attributes can be used to export standalone functions, but as mentioned in the Rcpp Modules vignette (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcpp/vignettes/Rcpp-modules.pdf): "[...] but read on for Rcpp modules which contains to provide features not covered by Rcpp attributes, particularly when it comes to binding entire C++ classes and more." it cannot export entire class definitions. Is this planned functionality? What are the challenges to implementing this using Attributes? What are some of the other things that Modules can do that Attributes cannot? Thanks. _______________________________________________ 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
