No, what I would like to do is access an Rcpp module from a dynamic library that is not part of a R package (e.g., loaded using dyn.load() ). If I put the code in a package, there is no problem. But what I am getting is:
> library(Rcpp)
> dyn.load("add.so")
> mod=Module("adding")
> add=new(mod$adding,1.2,3.4)
Error in Module(module, mustStart = TRUE) :
Failed to initialize module pointer: Error in
FUN("_rcpp_module_boot_adding"[[1L]], ...): no such symbol
_rcpp_module_boot_adding in package .GlobalEnv
The packages that you reference are all, well, packages, and from what I can
tell about .onLoad(), that applies only to packages. And the loadRcppModules
function, apparently, must be called from an .onLoad function (because I get an
error message to that effect).
I have never had a problem loading compiled functions this way; it appears to
be only an issue with modules.
I would appreciate some helpful suggestions from anyone in R-land who may have
had some success with this (e.g., specific documentation pages to look at, code
snippets that have worked for others, or other useful suggestions on what to
try next). Of course, if what I want to do is known to be impossible, that
would also be a helpful response.
Respectfully,
Michael
