Hello,
I'm evaluating this expression
expression({ for(x in 1:5){ .Call('rh_status','x')  }})
a million times from a program with R embedded in it. I have attached reproducible code that crashes with

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00002b499ca40a6e in R_gc_internal (size_needed=0) at memory.c:1309
1309            FORWARD_NODE(R_PPStack[i]);
Current language:  auto; currently c

(bt output below)

The code crashes with R-2.8 on both OS X (10.5) and Linux (Linux 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jul 23 19:59:19 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Most of the code has been taken from the R extensions website, I would appreciate any pointers to why this is crashing.
code can be found at the end of the email.


Try -Wall when compiling your code - it will tell you what's wrong:

a.cc:54: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

You simply forgot to add return to rh_status so it's returning junk which crashes (since it's not a valid SEXP).

Cheers,
Simon




Much thanks for your time
