abseil: Abseil Headers for R

Synopsis

This package provides R with access to Abseil header files.

This package is a direct import of Abseil libraries.

It can be used via the LinkingTo: field in the DESCRIPTION field of an R package — and the R package infrastructure tools will then know how to set include flags correctly on all architectures supported by R.

# Development version from r-universe with CRAN version as a fallback

  std::string joinString() {
    std::vector<std::string> v = {"foo","bar","baz"};
    return absl::StrJoin(v, "-");
  }
}", depends = "abseil")

joinString()
#> [1] "foo-bar-baz"

#include <Rcpp.h>
