Thanks again for your help Dirk.
Hope you don't mind if I ask a couple of follow up questions about as and wrap.
I have made the switch to using thread safe STL objects for use with
RcppParallel and writing wrappers for R objects.
I am using std vector of vectors to represent matrices and I would like to be
able to convert to and from these objects to R objects.
For example, it seems that there is no inbuilt conversion method from
std::vector<std::vector<int>> to IntegerMatrix or vice versa (both as and wrap).
Is there a reason why this conversion has not been implemented? How would I go
about implementing such a conversion? Or should I be using a different STL
format (e.g. a single vector) and wrap that into an R matrix?
I have had a look at "Rcpp Extending" vignette but I have no idea where to
start (this is beyond my current capabilities - I haven't worked with templates
before).
In the meantime, I have been allocating the desired object and filling it with
data from the original object, but my understanding is that this is creating a
copy in memory (I would like to avoid this)?
[[Rcpp::export]]
NumericMatrix RcppIntMatConvert (IntegerMatrix x) {
// convert x to std
std::vector<std::vector<int>> x_std(x.ncol(), std::vector<int>(x.nrow()));
// push x into x_std
for(int i = 0; i < x.ncol(); i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < x.nrow(); j++) {
x_std[i][j] = x(j, i);
}
}
return x_std
}
Appreciate your help!
Dillon

They are indeed. (And, if I may, feature prominently in the 'Introduction to
Rcpp' and other documents we offer. But I acknowledge that there are lots of
those.)

Thanks, we try :)
