checkFF {tools} | R Documentation |
Performs checks on calls to compiled code from R code. Currently only
checks whether the interface functions such as .C
and
.Fortran
are called with a "NativeSymbolInfo"
first argument or with argument PACKAGE
specified, which is
highly recommended to avoid name clashes in foreign function calls.
checkFF(package, dir, file, lib.loc = NULL,
verbose = getOption("verbose"))
package |
a character string naming an installed package. If given, the installed R code of the package is checked. |
dir |
a character string specifying the path to a package's root
source directory. This should contain the subdirectory ‘R’
(for R code). Only used if |
file |
the name of a file containing R code to be checked. Used
if neither |
lib.loc |
a character vector of directory names of R libraries,
or |
verbose |
a logical. If |
Note that we can only check if the name
argument is a symbol or
a character string, not what class of object the symbol resolves to
at run-time.
If the package has a name space and if that contains a
useDynLib
directive, calls in top-level functions in the
package are not reported as their symbols will be preferentially
looked up in the DLL named in the first useDynLib
directive.
An object of class "checkFF"
, which currently is a list of the
(parsed) foreign function calls with a character first argument and
no PACKAGE
argument.
There is a print
method to display the information contained in
such objects.
This function is still experimental. Both name and interface might change in future versions.
