Abstract
This chapter discusses Rcpp modules which allow programmers to expose C++ functions and classes to R with relative ease. Rcpp modules are inspired from the Boost.Python C++ library which provides similar features for integrating Python and C++. Furthermore, Rcpp modules also offer the ability to extend C++classes exposed to Rdirectly from the Rside. This chapter discusses modules in detail and ends on an applied case study featuring the RcppCNPy package.
