Build a R call at C level

Thanks Jan and Tomas for the feedback.
Answer from Jan is what I am looking for.
Maybe I am not looking in the right place buy it is not easy to understand
how these LCONS, CONS, SETCDR...etc works.

Thank you
Best regards
Morgan

Still R-package-devel mailing list should be preferred for this kind
of questions.
Not sure if that is the best way, but works.

call_to_sum <- inline::cfunction(
   language = "C",
   sig = c(x = "SEXP"), body = "

SEXP e = PROTECT(lang2(install(\"sum\"), x));
SEXP r_true = PROTECT(CONS(ScalarLogical(1), R_NilValue));
SETCDR(CDR(e), r_true);
SET_TAG(CDDR(e), install(\"na.rm\"));
Rf_PrintValue(e);
SEXP ans = PROTECT(eval(e, R_GlobalEnv));
UNPROTECT(3);
return ans;

")

call_to_sum(c(1L,NA,3L))

Hi All,

I was reading the R extension manual section 5.11 ( Evaluating R

expression

from C) and I tried to build a simple call to the sum function. Please

see

below.

call_to_sum <- inline::cfunction(
   language = "C",
   sig = c(x = "SEXP"), body = "

SEXP e = PROTECT(lang2(install(\"sum\"), x));
SEXP ans = PROTECT(eval(e, R_GlobalEnv));
UNPROTECT(2);
return ans;

")

call_to_sum(1:3)

The above works. My question is how do I add the argument "na.rm=TRUE"

at C

level to the above call? I have tried various things based on what is

in

section 5.11 but I did not manage to get it to work.

Thank you
Best regards
