AsioHeaders: Asio Headers forR
About
This package providesR withaccess toAsio header files.Asio yy provides across-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming. Itis also included inBoost – butrequires linking when used as part ofBoost. This standalone version ofAsio is a header-only C++library which can be used without linking (just like ourBH package withparts ofBoost).
By providing theAsiolibrary in this package, we offer a more efficient distribution systemforCRAN as replication of thiscode in the sources of other packages is avoided.
To use it, simply add it to theLinkingTo: field in theDESCRIPTION field of your R package—and the R packageinfrastructure tools will then know how to set include flags correctlyon all architectures supported by R.
Example
TheRcppAsioExamplepackage provides a simple illustration and example of using thispackage. Use it to both assert your compiler and setup are workingcorrectly, and possibly extend your work from. Generally speaking, onlyaLinkingTo: AsioHeaders should be needed, plus on Windowsonly a very simplylinkinstruction insrc/Makevars.win.
