UPCOMING EVENTS

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

We are using copilot to help with some changes related to integers in C++ in [PR #1199] to remove many of the compiler warnings when you compile on a Windows machine. These warnings are helpful when developing and this effort will make it even more helpful because you will not have to sift through hundreds of non-helpful warnings to get to the ones that you want.

# old code
RealVector(Rcpp::NumericVector x, size_t size) {
  this->id_m = RealVector::id_g++;
  this->storage_m = std::make_shared<std::vector<double>>();
  this->resize(x.size());
  for (size_t i = 0; i < x.size(); i++) {
    storage_m->at(i) = x[i];
  }
}

# new code
RealVector(Rcpp::NumericVector x, size_t size) {
  this->id_m = RealVector::id_g++;
  this->storage_m = std::make_shared<std::vector<double>>();
  this->storage_m->assign(x.begin(), x.end());
}
