[R-pkg-devel] Documentation of Rcpp modules

3 messages · Duncan Murdoch, Τόλης Χαλκής

I am developing a Rcpp package in order to make a submission to CRAN. I use
modules for 4 C++ classes. I have used the prompt function (`prompt(yada,
"yada-module.Rd")`) using the names of my modules, in order to document the
exposed classes. But I still get a warning when I perform the check using
devtools library  (devtools::check(cran=TRUE) ). The check returns that
there is not a documentation for the exposed classes:

checking for missing documentation entries ... WARNING
Undocumented S4 classes:
  ?Rcpp_Hpolytope? ?Rcpp_Zonotope? ?Rcpp_Vpolytope? ?Rcpp_IntVP?
All user-level objects in a package (including S4 classes and methods)
should have documentation entries.
See chapter ?Writing R documentation files? in the ?Writing R
Extensions? manual.


Do you know a proper way to document a module without getting a warning?

Thanks in advance,

You should be using promptClass() or promptMethods() instead of prompt() 
for classes and methods respectively.  Don't throw away what you've 
done:  just use promptClass() into a different location, and copy your 
text into the appropriate places in it. In particular, you'll likely 
need a \docType{class} line, a long list of aliases, and maybe some 
special sections documenting the slots, inheritance, etc.
