Compile C code to shared library

shlib.Rd

Calls R CMD SHLIB to create the model's shared library.

Usage

shlib(file)

Arguments

file

the c file that is to be compiled, OR an ODE/CME object with a c.file defined and recorded in it.

Value

the path of the created shared library

Details

The first argument can be a raw character scalar with just the path of the c code to be compiled, or alternatively an object that has this information stored within it. The models returned by as_cme and as_ode can both carry this information, attach it via c_path<-.

Examples

m <- model_from_tsv(uqsa_example("AKAR4"))
o <- as_ode(m)
C <- generate_code(o)
c_path(o) <- write_c_code(C)
so_path(o) <- shlib(o)
print(o)
