Hi Dirk, thanks for your answer.
I have checked your RcppCNPy package, but as you say, there is not methods
implemented, but free functions.
I need to execute something like this in R:
R> res<-new(myClass)
R>res$myMethod(1000)
So, when you say that I can manage it from the R side, are you talking
about programming that behaviour in a *.R file? In case of an affirmative
answer, same file where I have the loadModule sentence?
Thank you again,
Sergio
