The new-ish package RcppInt64
(announced last fall in this
post, with three small updates following) arrived on CRAN yesterday as relase 0.0.5. RcppInt64
collects some of the previous conversions between 64-bit integer values
in R and C++, and regroups them in a single package. It offers two
interfaces: both a more standard as<>() converter
from R values along with its companions wrap() to return to
R, as well as more dedicated functions ‘from’ and ‘to’.
This release addresses an new nag from CRAN who no longer want us to use
the ‘non-API’ header function SET_S4_OBJECT so a small
change was made.
The brief NEWS entry follows:
Changes in version 0.0.5 (2024-04-30)
- Minor refactoring of internal code to not rely on
SET_S4_OBJECT.
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report relative to the previous release. If you like this or other open-source work I do, you can sponsor me at GitHub.
