The Rcpp::depends
attribute is added to a C++ source file to indicate that it has a compilation dependency on one or more other packages. For example:
// [[Rcpp::depends(RcppArmadillo)]]
Packages which the source file depends on for compilation
The Rcpp::depends
attribute is used by the implementation of the sourceCpp
function to correctly setup the build environment for R CMD SHLIB
.
The include directories of the specified packages are added to the CLINK_CPPFLAGS
environment variable. In addition, if the referenced package provides an inline plugin it is called to determine additional environment variables required to successfully build.
