Pull in Boost.Random means pull in Boost.TypeTraits, Boost.MPL and a lot of other things. There is tool for extract part of Boost, BCP. I tried to incorporate Boost.Random into my own library once. But the truth is that pull in Boost.Random and all the results was not pretty. You also need to keep track update of Boost, which is an unnecessary burden IMHO.
Correct, not a good general solution for Conrad. His functor idea seems very nice though. For CRAN use, a few us started to provide a package 'BH' which contains Boost headers one can depend on via a simple 'LinkingTo: BH' from another R package. We do include what a few reference packages needed rather than "all" of Boost so if something is missing let us or know or file a Tracker / Issue ticket at the r-forge page for boostheaders where I already filed two: https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?group_id=1469&atid=5310 Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
