R: Register an R function or C++ routine to convert between R and CORBA/IDL type.

Register an R function or C++ routine to convert between R and CORBA/IDL type.

Usage

addCorbaConverter(name, idlName, userFunction, toCorba=T)

Arguments

`name`	a character vector of length 1 identifying the R function or C/C++ routine that will perform the conversion.
`idlName`	the identifier for the IDL type associated with this converter.
`userFunction`	logical indicating whether the `name` argument refers to an R function or a C/C++ routine.
`toCorba`	logical indicating whether the direction of the conversion is from R to CORBA (TRUE) or vice-versa (FALSE)

Description

This allows a user to register a specialized converter (rather than the standard dynamic CORBA mechanism) when converting between R and a CORBA object. This stores the name in an internal C++ table which is referenced when we convert between R and CORBA. If the name of a function is supplied, this should generate a suitable R object that can be used as a CORBA object - namely a closure. If a C/C++ routine is supplied, it must have an appropriate signature. See the more detiled documentation.

Details

Value

A list containing a details of the converter previously registered for that IDL type and conversion direction, or the default converter entry.
