Why not pass the result of tempdir() in your call from R to your C++
function, or in an initialization call for your package? It won't
change during a session.
This is indeed a good suggestion, but (my bad!) I forgot to mention: the
place I need to use this is at dynlib loading time (i.e., when
R_init_mypackage is called), so I don't have the flexibility to pass
arbitrary arguments.
I guess this is a separate but related question, but it's not clear to
me if in the process of loading a package, any particular piece of R
code is guaranteed to execute before the library is loaded; otherwise I
could pass down the information by setting an environment variable in R
and read it from C++, or even perform all the directory creation logic
at the R level.
Thanks again,
Rodrigo
