Automatic C wrapper generation
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In addition to the SWIG support for R, I am also in the process of finishing off another approach which uses the compiler directly (rather than an intermediate input file) and can read the body of the routines in order to analyze the expressions there. And we can do the generation and analysis in R. A partially complete version is available at http://www.omegahat.org/Prerelease/RGCCTranslationUnit_0.3-0.tar.gz and an associated run-time support package at http://www.omegahat.org/Prerelease/RAutoGenRunTime_0.1.0.tar.gz I am hoping to finish off all of the details in the next week. However, I have used already to generate parts of the Rcompression package from bzip and for wxWidgets wrappers in C++. venthough I initiated the RSWIG project, I believe this is a richer approach, but of course there is still some setup cost.

Swig 1.3.30 will have basic R support. You can check it out from their CVS. I haven't used it yet so I do not know how far this will get you. Dirk
