Hi,
This is related to my post
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66142449/passing-class-as-argument-in-rcpp-function?noredirect=1#comment116942069_66142449>.
My question is in the same spirit except for one additional complexity. How
can one create a new instance of a *template* class object with a pointer
on it and create an external pointer that can be further passed as an
argument of a function? Here is a small example of my goal that will
obviously not run and show "Use of class template Uniform2 requires
template arguments".
// template class
template <typename T>
class Uniform2 {
public:
Uniform2(T max_,mat D_) :
max(max_), D(D_) {}
~Uniform2(){};
T max;
mat D;
};
/// get function
// [[Rcpp::export]]
XPtr<Uniform2> getUniform(const mat &D, SEXP max,char type) {
// create pointer to a template Uniform object and
// wrap it as an external pointer
if(type=='double') {
Rcpp::XPtr<Uniform2> ptr(new Uniform2<double>(as<double>(max), D
), true);
return ptr;
} else if(type=='int') {
Rcpp::XPtr<Uniform2> ptr(new Uniform2<int>(as<int>(max), D ),
true);
return ptr;
}
// return the external pointer to the R side
return Rcpp::XPtr<Uniform2>(R_NilValue);
}
//do something
// [[Rcpp::export]]
double test2(double z, XPtr<Uniform2> xp) {
double CC= z * xp->max;
return CC;
}
Thanks,
Subhomoy
