Last question: Will I need to UNPROTECT_PTR all references held, or will
the call to Rf_endEmbeddedR also free protected references?
What is a 'reference' here?
Right, my question was imprecise. I meant 'SEXP' (which is a
reference/pointer to a SEXPREC, as far as I understand it).
As distinct from the various reference SEXPREC types.
Rf_endEmbeddedR does what ending an R session does, no more, no less.
Ok - my question put differently: Will ending an R session run a full garbage
collection, ignoring the 'protected' status of previously protected SEXP?
No. It will run finalizers if they were set up to do so.
