The question is, and pardon my bluntness, so ill posed that you may have
found few predecessors.
You are coming from the wrong direction. Do no think standalone C++ development.
Think "writing an extension for R" using a (in our view, at least) simpler
interface. And for "writing an extension for R" you will also find a manual,
right there in your R installation.
