accesing slots of S4 class in C code
5 messages · Aniko Szabo, Duncan Temple Lang, Torsten Hothorn +2 more
You need to use .Call() rather than .C() to pass the R object to the TestFun routine. D.

The following is a toy example, but even this crashes.
In R I have:
setClass("pd", representation(data="numeric"))
x <- new("pd", data=1:5)
test <- function(pd.obj) {
res <- .C("TestFun", pd.obj)
res}
test(x)
(Of couse I load the DLL as well.)
The corresponding C file has:
SEXP TestFun(SEXP pd_obj)
{
SEXP t=R_NilValue;
PROTECT(t = GET_SLOT(pd_obj, install("data")));
UNPROTECT(1);
return(t);
}
What I hope to get as a result is the (1:5) vector.
In the long term, the vector will be a multi-dimensional array and I
will want to do calculations using its contents in the C program.
Thanks for any help,

Your C code is set for the .Call interface, not the .C interface.
Change the R code to
res <- .Call("TestFun", pd.obj)

I'm pretty sure you want to use the .Call interface for this sort of thing, not .C. Other than referring you to the Writing R Extensions manual, you might want to look at the Ruuid package in Bioconductor which is quite simple, but demonstrates accessing S4 classes from C. See http://bioconductor.org/ to grab a source package of Ruuid. Best, + seth PS: Questions of this nature (C code type stuff) are better suited to the R-devel mail list.
