The 'HighFive' 'C++' Interface to 'HDF5'.

HighFive: HighFive Headers for R

About

This package provides R with access to HighFive header files. HighFive provides an idiomatic Modern C++ interfacee to HDF5.

By providing the HighFive library in this package, we offer a more efficient distribution system for CRAN as replication of this code in the sources of other packages is avoided.

To use it, simply add it to the LinkingTo: field in the DESCRIPTION field of your R package---and the R package infrastructure tools will then know how to set include flags correctly on all architectures supported by R.

NB: These header files require libhdf5 and a compiler implementing C++14 or greater, which is, to my understanding, all compilers supported by modern R.
