[Rcpp-devel] devtools load_all() and modules
Sure, very valid question. ?I tend to do two things: ?a) at times experiment/try/play with the inline package and cxxfunction ?b) much more often, work with a package where, for force of habit, my ? ?typical workflow often is ? ? ? ?$ R CMD INSTALL mypkg && r -lmypkg -e 'someFunctionToTickle(3.14)' ? ?which does a 'library(mypkg)' for me (which is how r resolves the -l ? ?arguments) and then executes the R expression as I never got really happy with any of the unloading attempts. Littler's r starts very quickly and gives me a guaranteed clean slate, so I tend to work from there.
Hmmmm, interesting. But R CMD install is still fairly slow, right? I guess because you're installing directly from the package dir (and not from a tarball built via R CMD build) it's a bit faster, and only changed files need to be recompiled. You introduce a slight risk of problems caused by build artefacts left by previous runs, but that's probably worth it for the speed (and you know much more about the tradeoffs here than I do). Hadley
