r-cran-rcpp 0.8.9-1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu natty

 The Rcpp package contains a C++ library that facilitates the integration of
 R and C++ in various ways.
 .
 R data types (SEXP) are matched to C++ objects in a class hierarchy. All R
 types are supported (vectors, functions, environment, etc ...) and each
 type is mapped to a dedicated class. For example, numeric vectors are
 represented as instances of the Rcpp::NumericVector class, environments are
 represented as instances of Rcpp::Environment, functions are represented as
 Rcpp::Function, etc ...
 .
 The underlying C++ library also offers the Rcpp::wrap function which is a
 templated function that transforms an arbitrary object into a SEXP. This
 makes it straightforward to implement C++ logic in terms of standard C++
 types such as STL containers and then wrap them when they need to be
 returned to R. Internally, wrap uses advanced template meta programming
 techniques and currently supports : primitive types (bool, int, double,
 size_t, Rbyte, Rcomplex, std::string), STL containers (e.g std::vector<T>)
 where T is wrappable, STL maps (e.g std::map<std::string,T>) where T is
 wrappable, and arbitrary types that support implicit conversion to SEXP.
 .
 The reverse conversion (from R to C++) is performed by the Rcpp::as function
 template offering a similar degree of flexibility.
 .
 The package also contains a set of classes---which we call the `classic Rcpp
 API'---that were provided in an earlier API for R and C++ integration. Due
 to its continued use, the classic API is retained and will be supported for
 the foreseable future. The classic API includes support for R types real,
 integer, character, vector, matrix, Date, datetime (i.e. POSIXct) at
 microsecond resolution, data frame, and function. Transfer to and from
 simple or complex SEXP objects is made easy thanks to automatic conversion
 made possible by C++ template conversion. Calling R functions from C++ is
 also supported.
 .
 C++ code can be 'inlined' by using the 'inline' package which will create a
 C++ function and compile, link and load it given the 'inlined' character
 argument which makes C++ integration very easy.
 .
 Several examples are included, and 784 unit tests in 364 functions
 provide addtional usage examples.
