title: 'cpp4r: Header-Only ''C++'' and ''R'' Interface'
version: 0.7.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.cpp4r
abstract: Provides a header only, 'C++' interface to 'R' with enhancements over 'cpp11'.
  Enforces copy-on-write semantics consistent with 'R' behavior. Offers native support
  for ALTREP objects, 'UTF-8' string handling, modern 'C++' features and idioms, and
  reduced memory requirements. Allows for vendoring, making it useful for restricted
  environments. Compared to 'cpp11', it adds support for converting 'C++' maps to
  'R' lists, 'Roxygen' documentation directly in 'C++' code, proper handling of matrix
  attributes, support for nullable external pointers, bidirectional copy of complex
  number types, flexibility in type conversions, use of nullable pointers, and various
  performance optimizations.
