Threadsafe function pointer with Rcpp and RcppParallel via std::shared_ptr


I would like to use a threadsafe function pointer to be applied in an RcppPrallel worker. But I have already problems with this tiny example. No matter if I use it in a package and add SystemRequirements: C++11 in the DESCRIPTION file, or use it in a standard cpp file and add // [[Rcpp::plugins(cpp11)]] I get the same Errors: 'shared_ptr' is not a member of 'std'. Can anyone please help me? Thank you!

#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
using namespace std;


double f1 (double x, double y) {
   return x * y;
}

double f2 (double x, double y) {
   std::shared_ptr<int> p1;
   std::cout << "p1: " << p1.use_count() << '\n';
   return x + y;
}

typedef double (*funcPtr)(double x, double y);

std::shared_ptr<funcPtr> selectf(std::string abc) {

   std::shared_ptr<funcPtr> fp = NULL;

   if(abc == "a"){
      fp = std::make_shared<funcPtr>(new funcPtr(&f1));
   }else {
      fp = std::make_shared<funcPtr>(new funcPtr(&f2));
   }
   return fp;
}


// [[Rcpp::export]]
double f0(double x, double y, std::string abc){
   double ret;
   df = selectf(abc);
   ret = df(x, y);
   return(ret);
}


/*** R
if(FALSE){
   f0(10, 10, "a")
}
*/

Solution

  • std::shared_ptr is declared in the header <memory>. Try:

    #include <memory>
    

    You can find the documentation for it here.
