Hi Dirk, yes I am familiar with new style (thank you for that, it makes things much prettier), but I still have to (or do I?...) use the as<>() when I am picking the pieces out of Rcpp::List (https://github.com/helske/bssm/blob/master/src/gssm.cpp):
.... gssm::gssm(const List model, unsigned int seed) : y(as<arma::vec>(model["y"])), Z(as<arma::mat>(model["Z"])), H(as<arma::vec>(model["H"])), T(as<arma::cube>(model["T"])), ... I don't want to modify objects on the R side, so I had to use clone for the List model. I was just wondering why the behaviour is different for cube (tries to avoid a copy) than for vec/mat when using as<>() (always? forces a copy).
