Thank you Dirk. I am very new to rcpp devel so I apologize if my terminology is
inaccurate.
By “Constructor Validator”, I was referring to the validator function pointer
used to "implement dispatch to the appropriate constructor when multiple
constructors taking the same number of arguments are exposed," as mentioned in
your book “Seamless R and C++ integration with Rcpp” (page 92)
The class constructors in question take either two ints, or an int plus an
object of class Foo, which has been property converted via as<>() and wrap().
Suggestions and example code will be much appreciated!
regards,
Hong
p.s. Thank you for your work on Rcpp. I very much enjoyed using it for C++ <->
R interactions. I realized Rcpp has simplified my task of exposing my C++
library to R tremendously.
