Hi,

With a collaborator we are working on a package which uses Rcpp and 
RcppArmadillo.   Our *.cpp files  start with something like

// [[Rcpp::depends(RcppArmadillo)]]

#include <iostream>
#include "RcppArmadillo.h"

using namespace arma;
using namespace std;
using namespace Rcpp;


Running compileAttributes()  generates an RcppExports.cpp which gives errors 
unless we manually  add 

using namespace arma;

when everything is fine. Is this outside the scope of the automatic facilities? 
 

compileAttributes()   puts the corresponding directive for the Rcpp namespace 
but even after reading every possible source I could not figure out how to make 
this happen for the "arma" namespace. 

The same problem appears when using devtools::test() which exits with an error 
if RcppExports.cpp is not generated by it but if I remove that file, my 
understanding is that devtools::test() calls compileAttributes()  with the 
effect of producing invalid file and with little indication for the users what 
has gone wrong, besides the message "Error: Command failed (1)".


Thanks,
Georgi
