[R] Dealing with NAs in C

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

See section 5.10.3 of the R-exts.pdf.

There are macros ISNA(x) and ISNAN(x) (only for 'double') and constants
NA_INTEGER, NA_REAL,
 NA_LOGICAL and NA_STRING.

In a C function you could use

int x;

if(x == NA_INTEGER){
    // process an integer NA
}

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
