Add Rcpp or RcppArmadillo integration to an R package for high-performance C++ code. Covers setup, writing C++ functions, RcppExports generation, testing compiled code, and debugging. Use when an R function is too slow and profiling confirms a bottleneck, when you need to interface with existing C/C++ libraries, or when implementing algorithms (loops, recursion, linear algebra) that benefit from compiled code.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Add Rcpp Integration

Integrate C++ code into an R package using Rcpp for performance-critical operations.

## When to Use

- R function is too slow and profiling confirms a bottleneck
- Need to interface with existing C/C++ libraries
- Implementing algorithms that benefit from compiled code (loops, recursion)
- Adding RcppArmadillo for linear algebra operations

## Inputs

- **Required**: Existing R package
- **Required**: R function to replace or augment with C++
- **Optional**: External C++ library to interface with
- **Optional**: Whether to use RcppArmadillo (default: plain Rcpp)

## Procedure

### Step 1: Set Up Rcpp Infrastructure

```r
usethis::use_rcpp()
```

This:
- Creates `src/` directory
- Adds `Rcpp` to LinkingTo and Imports in DESCRIPTION
- Creates `R/packagename-package.R` with `@useDynLib` and `@importFrom Rcpp sourceCpp`
- Updates `.gitignore` for compiled files

For RcppArmadillo:

```r
usethis::use_rcpp_armadillo()
```

**Got:** `src/` directory created, DESCRIPTION updated with `Rcpp` in LinkingTo and Imports, and `R/packagename-package.R` contains `@useDynLib` directive.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/add-rcpp-integration@sha256:3995a65796f4f631

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
