r - Use a small amount of C++-level code from another package -

-

there r package defines handy functions extracting files zip archives std::string in c++. i'd use functions in own packages, can't link them because header not in inst/include directory of original package.

my question based on understanding c++-level code isn't available outside package unless header in inst/include.

to use code, options are:

  1. ask package maintainer move c++ header file inst/include directory can call package linkingto in description file.

  2. copy , acknowledge code, means propagating gpl-3 licence own package.

  3. copy , pointlessly alter code evade copyright.

  4. copy code, 20 lines, don't alter it, don't acknowledge it, , don't propagate gpl-3 licence.

  5. create separate, tiny package makes code want available in inst/include, acknowledges original author, , propogates gpl-3 licence (but not actual package, includes it).

are there other options? have misunderstood writing r extensions or rcpp?

clarification: not @ condone options 3 , 4, are, in view, cheating. hence question. people reading answers see such things regarded cheating. things people consider when doing 'right thing' harder simple imports: package, why included them.

the viable options options 1 , 2.

option 1 works provided r maintainers willing give code under license other gpl. of course implies going link against dual-licensed code, not against of r.

option 2 works if willing use gpl code , code links code.

option 3 definition of plagiarism, , not option.

option 4 fishy, unethical, , bit difficult achieve you've publicly announced option.

option 5 not work since gpl applies separate package well, , extension applies code using package.

java - Static nested class instance -

this question has answer here: java inner class , static nested class 23 answers i came across in java, know static nested class why create instance of 'static'. isn't whole idea of 'static' use without instance? understand concept of inner classes, why (and frankly how possible to) create 'instance' of 'static' member @ ? why this: 1- outerclass.staticnestedclass nestedobject = new outerclass.staticnestedclass(); 2- nestedobject.anestedclassmethod(); and not this: 1- outerclass outerinstance=new outerclass(); 2- outerinstance.staticnestedclass.anestedclassmethod(); use on inner classes, keyword static indicates can access inner class without instance of outer class. for example: public class outer { public static class inner { /* code here. */ } } with construction, can create instance of inn

JavaScript - Replace variable from string in all occurrences -

ok, know if have character '-' , want remove in places in string javascript, ... someword = someword.replace(/-/g, ''); but, when applying array of characters, s not working ... const badchars = ('\/:*?"<>|').split(''); let filename = title.replace(/ /g, '-').tolocalelowercase(); (let item = 0; item < badchars.length; item++) { // below not work global '/ /g' filename = filename.replace(/badchars[item]/g, ''); } any ideas? /badchars[item]/g looks badchars , literally, followed i , t , e , or m . if you're trying use character badchars[item] , you'll need use regexp constructor, , you'll need escape regex-specific characters. escaping regular expression has been well-covered . using that: filename = filename.replace(new regexp(regexp.quote(badchars[item]), 'g'), ''); but , don't want that. want character class: let filename = title.replac
