This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-rcpp package of Rcpp, an R / C++ interface package. Rcpp was written by Dominick Samperi, Dirk Eddelbuettel and Romain Francois. 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 GitHub repo http://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp The package was renamed from its upstream name 'Rcpp' to 'r-cran-rcpp' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.

Transfer to and from simple SEXP objects is particular easy. Calling R functions from C++ is also supported. . C++ code can be 'inlined' by using the 'inline' package which will create a C++ function and compile, link and load it given the 'inlined' character argument which makes C++ integration very easy. . Several examples are included. Depends: R (>= 2.0.0) Suggests: inline (>= 0.3.4), RUnit SystemRequirements: None URL: http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html, http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/index.php?category/R-package/Rcpp License: GPL (>= 2)
