Subject: [Rcpp-devel] Create an instance of a reference class for a C++ class exported as a module from within C++?
Sorry for the long subject line but I hope it describes what I want to
do. I have a C++ class, dgTMatrix, that is exported in a module
definition.
RCPP_MODULE(RcppSp) {
...
class_<dgCMatrix>("dgCMatrix")
...
;
}
Many of the methods for this class return other members of this class.
Can I create a new instance of the reference class in R from within
the module? I'm sure it is possible, I'm just wondering if there is
an easy way to do this without duplicating large chunks of the code in
Rcpp/src/Module.cpp. Can i somehow clone the SEXP representing the
current instance then swap the external pointer to the C++ object?
