问题
This minimal example compiles when I "source" the file:
/*
read_header.c
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <RcppCommon.h>
typedef struct {
int my_data;
} MY_HEADER_INFO;
namespace Rcpp {
template <> SEXP wrap(const MY_HEADER_INFO& x);
}
#include <Rcpp.h>
namespace Rcpp {
template <>
SEXP wrap(const MY_HEADER_INFO& x) {
std::vector<std::string> names;
std::vector<SEXP> elements(1);
// do something with the elements and names
names.push_back("my_data");
elements[0] = Rcpp::wrap( x.my_data );
};
}
//' @export
// [[Rcpp::export]]
MY_HEADER_INFO read_header() {
MY_HEADER_INFO *header;
header = (MY_HEADER_INFO*)malloc(sizeof(MY_HEADER_INFO));
memset(header, 0, sizeof(MY_HEADER_INFO));
return *header;
}
When I try to build it in RStudio into a package (CMD + SHIFT + B), I get the following, long, error message, that clearly lists the problem is my user-defined return structure, MY_HEADER_INFO:

If I try to modify this file, however, it all gets written over when I call CMD+SHIFT+B. Other C programs I've written for this same package that return standard data types (e.g., "std::vector") compile without a problem, both when I "source" the code in the Console and when I build them into a package.
I have read through the Rcpp documentation and related vignettes (and even bought Dirk's book!), but I cannot find how to tell the package builder where the definition of MY_HEADER_INFO is located. How do I tell the package compiler where the definition of this file is located?
Thanks!
回答1:
That look like another instance of a not-entirely-uncommon problem for which we do have a wonderfully simple answer that is somewho less known than it should be.
In short, for a package <pkg> (where <pkg> is an alias for your package name, with lower or undercase as you please. and obviously no < or >) please such struct (or in the C++ case class) or typedef or ... definitions into a file inst/include/<pkg>_types.h (replacing <pkg> with your package name).
If such a file exists, it is automagically included by RcppExports.cpp and you are good to go.
Details are in the Rcpp Attributes vignette, and a few related forms are allowed as well:
src/<pkg>_types.h
src/<pkg>_types.hpp
inst/include/<pkg>_types.h
inst/include/<pkg>_types.hpp
inst/include/<pkg>.h
but inst/include/<pkg>_types.h may be the most commonly used one. One example of using it via src/ is src/RSQLite_types.h. On the other hand, an example of using it in inst/include/ is inst/include/RcppQuantuccia_types.h and another, much larger one in inst/include/RcppGSL_types.h.
