require(Rcpp)


## NOTE: This is the old way to compile Rcpp code inline.
## The code here has left as a historical artifact and tribute to the old way.
## Please use the code under the "new" inline compilation section.

require(inline)
funx_old <- cxxfunction(	
	signature(), 
	'throw std::range_error("boom"); return R_NilValue ; ', 
	plugin = "Rcpp" )

## NOTE: Within this section, the new way to compile Rcpp code inline has been
## written. Please use the code next as a template for your own project.

cppFunction('
SEXP funx(){
    throw std::range_error("boom"); return R_NilValue ; 
}')	

tryCatch(  funx(), "C++Error" = function(e){
	cat( sprintf( "C++ exception of class '%s' : %s\n", class(e)[1L], e$message  ) )
} )
# or using a direct handler
tryCatch(  funx(), "std::range_error" = function(e){
        cat( sprintf( "C++ exception of class '%s' : %s\n", class(e)[1L], e$message  ) )
} )
# just to check things carry on
print( rnorm(10) )
