Further R-devel changes making things a little easier on attribute access #1432
Description
This morning via the RSS feed of NEWS changes:
- New function ‘R_getAttributes’ returns the same result as the R function ‘attributes’. New functions ‘R_getAttribCount’, ‘R_getAttribNames’, ‘R_hasAttrib’, ‘R_nrow’, and ‘R_ncol’.
What we added of course still works, but these additions should make things generally simpler. There is a bit more in the entry mostly on ALTREP.
PS Interestingly R_nrow and R_ncol return int so we used them we'd break interface again as we standardised on R_xlen_t. Or we would have to (needlessly ?) cast up.
