Introduction

In the previous chapter, we built an R package using Rcpp. Moreover, using CodeBlocks, we established the infrastructure for developing and building our ABI-compliant library of statistical functions (libStatsLib.a), which we linked into our R package (StatsR.dll). For the moment, we have only used a single function, library_version (defined in StatsR.cpp). We used this to illustrate the build process and to test the communication between R and C++.

In this chapter, we look ...
