defines in Rmath.h and R_NO_REMAP
Dear Prof. Ripley, thank you for the pointer to #undef; I used it the first time now and put // undo Rmath.h madness ;-) #ifdef beta #undef beta #endif in my (templates) header file. It works, and it is much nicer than my forwarding functions. Prof Brian Ripley schrieb:
If you read the 'Writing R Extensions' manual it only mentions
R_NO_REMAP in conjuction with Rinternals.h and R_ext/Error.h.
So yes, it is intentional that it does not work for Rmath.h. If you
would like it to, remember we often say 'patches will be considered'. But see the inline comment below.

Is this a feature? I found an old Rmath.h version from 2000, which seems to obey the R_NO_REMAP flag, but the present version only obeys the math library standalone flag and ignores R_NO_REMAP. As a bad workaround I defined some forwarding functions and included Rmath.h in a separate part of the code... but this is not very beautiful.
You could just #undef beta !
Thanks, Daniel
