Build a pointer from a memory address

Source: R/C_wrappers.R
dot-xptr.Rd

Base R doesn't provide utilities to build or manipulate external pointers (objects of type "externalptr"), so we provide our own. Objects defined with .xptr() are not stable across sessions,

Usage

.xptr(address)

Arguments

address

Memory address

Value

The external pointer (type "externalptr") that the memory address points to.
