RcppDate: date C++ headerlibrary for R
About
Thedate libraryby Howard Hinnant offers extensive date and time functionality for theC++11, C++14 and C++17 standards. A slighly modified version ofdate.h has been accepted (along withtz.h) aspart of C++20.
This package regroups all header files from the upstream repositoryby Howard Hinnant so that other R packages can use them in their C++code.
Example
There isa lot of functionality in this library. As ateaser, consider these three compile-time instantiations ofyear_month_day types:
constexprauto x1=2015_y/March/22;constexprauto x2= March/22/2015;constexprauto x3=22_d/March/2015;See the fileinst/examples/year_month_day.cppfor the complete example, and the upstream documentation for fulldetails.
Limitations
Thetz.h header requires compiled support fromtz.cppwhich is not currently included so that this remains a header-onlylibrary.
