[Rcpp-devel] Unit Test Question Was: pnorm/qnorm?

The "pixie dust" referred to your assertions that we "used some secret tools"
or "were hiding something".

Neither one is true.  It's all there.  It's just damn hard to read. But it's
not hidden...

Hi Gang:

It is not hidden.  But, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a C++
IDE setup that can visually resolve these prototypes.  I'm not sure
what the right terminology is, but emacs calls it intellisense if
that helps.  I have been experimenting with the emacs packages CEDET
and ECB.  emacs does not report the right prototype for qnorm.  I'm
not sure exactly how emacs does this, but I believe that I have
specified GNU Global/gtags.  I'm still struggling with Eclipse and I
haven't tried Xcode.  Has anyone had any luck with their IDE in this
regard?  Please let me know.  See the example below...

#ifndef DEBUG
#include <Rcpp.h>

using namespace Rcpp;
using namespace Rcpp::stats;

#endif

NumericVector x=qnorm(as<NumericVector>(arg1), as<double>(arg2), 1.);

return wrap(x);

If I place the cursor at wrap(, then I see the function prototype in
the minibuffer: "wrap.h: inline SEXP wrap(const T& object)".
That's very nice!  However, if I place it at qnorm(, then all I get is:
"Rmath.h: const extern "C" qnorm".

Thanks
