R's C API has a type for "external pointer to a function", which is what I used here: https://github.com/paleolimbot/adbcsqlite3/blob/master/src/init.c#L23 with the driver init function. The concept of "dll + symbol" is possible too but harder to deal with, I think. The main hurdle for R packaging is that the built-in build system makes it difficult to drag-and-drop a CMake project. It is usually simpler to write a bash configure script that sets the build flags and use R's bulit-in functionality to manage the install on various platforms. My hack for that was here: https://github.com/paleolimbot/adbcsqlite3/blob/master/src/driver.c . That falls apart for something like FlightSQL. Currently the easiest way to do that one would be to just tack it on to the arrow R package (maybe that's what you're planning for Python, too).
