Hi, I m currently working on interfacing R and C++ (passing a matrix from R to C++, doing some stuff, returning a vector of results). There seem to be a number of ways of doing this, such as rcpp and swig. Is there a recommended way of doing this? In the long run I would like what I m working on to be portable across OS etc. Nathan

Just follow the instructions in the Writing R Extensions manual. You're not doing anything very unusual, so rcpp and swig may be overkill. Duncan Murdoch
