[R-pkg-devel] best approach to getting an external library to *not* use stdout, stderr, etc.

[Simon Barthelmé]

Dear list,

I'm trying to wrap an external C++ library that has the bad habit of 
printing errors to std::cerr, a behaviour which will lead to CRAN 
issuing warnings. I was wondering if people had come up with a solution 
to this problem that's better than patching everything by hand?

Thanks

Simon
