cpp11
A header-only C++11 library for safe and efficient interaction with R objects from C++ code.
What is cpp11?
cpp11 is a C++ library that enables R developers to write C++ extensions for R, providing a safe and efficient interface to interact with R objects. It solves the problem of integrating high-performance C++ code with R while enforcing proper memory management and modern C++ features. The library is designed as a header-only solution to avoid compilation and runtime compatibility issues.
R package developers and data scientists who need to write performance-critical extensions in C++ for R, particularly those seeking a modern alternative to Rcpp with improved safety and semantics.
Developers choose cpp11 for its enforced copy-on-write semantics, UTF-8 support, header-only design, and focus on safety, offering a simpler and more reliable way to integrate C++ with R compared to alternatives.
Overview
cpp11 helps you to interact with R objects using C++ code.
