[Rcpp-devel] R.e. Debugging Rcpp packages with GDB
Thanks all for the crash course - it works great!
I just cobbled up a simple "reload" function. This has been a
long-standing pet peeve of mine -- anything that makes me leave the R
shell is distracting. I've tested it and it seems to work just fine.
Are there any non-obvious downsides here?
reload = function(pkgname, preload=TRUE) {
## load it
if (preload) {
library(pkgname, character.only = TRUE)
}
libs <- dir(paste(.path.package(pkgname), '/libs', sep=''), full.names=TRUE)
for (lib in libs) {
dyn.unload(lib)
dyn.load(lib)
}
return()
}
best,
Christian

Seconded.

The 'make -j4' also takes care of parallel builds. Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com
