Thanks,
The last time I went after this I looked in the CRAN version and did not see
anything. I see them in this github version.
In the example code on your webpage where you create custom as and wrap using
BDT you make some forward declarations after calling RcppCommon.h, before you
call the boost header file.
----------CODE------------
#include <RcppCommon.h>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian_types.hpp> // Gregorian
calendar types, no I/O
namespace Rcpp {
// 'date' class boost::gregorian::date
//
// non-intrusive extension via template specialisation
template <> boost::gregorian::date as(SEXP dt);
//
// non-intrusive extension via template specialisation
template <> SEXP wrap(const boost::gregorian::date &d);
}
------ END CODE -----------------
In the package on github I don't see this and I was able to replicate your
example code without those forward declarations in a test package I am using to
learn how to do things.
Is that something unique here or are those declarations not needed in a package?
Also I just noticed that I had #include <Rcpp.h> before I defined the template
specializations and the code still compiled and the examples ran correctly, but
in the Extensions Vignette it says:
// this must appear after the specialization,
// otherwise the specialization will not be seen by Rcpp types
#include <Rcpp.h>
And I don't find any use of Rcpp.h in the cpp files in the package to try to
understand what is going on.
Again any help is appreciated.
