c - 从 R 调用这个 C 函数(libqp_gsmo.c)的方法是什么？

Question

我有大规模的QP问题，所以我在R中使用Gurobi优化器。但是，我希望使用广义的顺序最小优化算法，但我在R包中找不到它。所以我尝试调用这个 C 函数，但到目前为止失败了。

如何从 R 调用此 C 函数？

不知道是否可以从 R 程序直接调用 C 函数，但可以尝试从 .so 文件加载符号。

您将 C 文件编译为动态库 (.so)，并且使用“dlopen”和“dlsym”也许可以工作

man dlopen (C) : https://linux.die.net/man/3/dlopen

man dlsym (C) : https://linux.die.net/man/3/dlsym

我知道你可以像这样从 C++ 二进制文件调用 C 函数
