Dear all,
I am reading C++ code that is called in an R package. It is not clear to me
what SET_STRING_ELT, getAttrib, etc exactly do.
I understand that these are macros that have been declared in Rinternals.h and
who are used for the correct "translation" of the R data structures, but I have
not found their definition, and it is not clear to me what they do to their
inputs and what type of output they generate precisely.
I have consulted several resources ("Writing R extensions", Gentleman's "R
programming for bioinformatics", Chamber's "Software for Data Analysis"), who
do mention these macros, but the discussion remains very general (and too
general for me to understand the code that I am deciphering).
I have not found a description on CRAN either. Does anybody know an accessible
documentation that could help me forward?
