This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-rcpparmadillo package of RcppArmadillo, an package connect the Armadillo C++ library to R (using the Rcpp package). RcppArmadillo was written by Romain Francois, Dirk Eddelbuettel and Doug Bates; Armadillo was written by Conrad Sanderson. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g. http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ as well the R-Forge SVN host at http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rcpp/ via svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/rcpp The package was renamed from its upstream name 'RcppArmadillo' to 'r-cran-rcpparmadillo' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.

Integer, floating point and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with LAPACK and ATLAS libraries. . A delayed evaluation approach is employed (during compile time) to combine several operations into one, and to reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through recursive templates and template meta-programming. . This library is useful if C++ has been decided as the language of choice (due to speed and/or integration capabilities), rather than another language. . The RcppArmadillo package includes the header files from the templated Armadillo library (currently version 3.800.1). Thus users do not need to install Armadillo itself in order to use RcppArmadillo. . This Armadillo integration provides a nice illustration of the capabilities of the Rcpp package for seamless R and C++ integration. .
