[Rcpp-devel] Avoiding having to write .h files

Only because it is extra work... Anyway, I hope this Rcpp::interfaces(r,cpp)-feature gets up and running again :)

Hello, 

Why do you want to avoid writing headers. I guess you could use extern 

For example, in foo1.cpp : 

double fun1(){
  return 2.0 ;
}

In foo2.cpp ;

extern double fun1() ;

double fun2(){
  return fun1() + 2; 
}

Dear all,

If in a package I have foo1.cpp with function fun1 and foo2.cpp with fun2 (which uses fun1 from foo1.cpp) then I must write foo1.h and include in foo2.cpp. Right? Is there another approach so that I do not have to write these header files?

Using Rcpp::interfaces(r,cpp) should take care of that (according to the Rcpp-attributes vignette, at least that is my understanding) but I have seen on the list that there is a bug in this feature with the current Rcpp version (and also with the devel version on github).

Cheers
