I will try to produce the exact code I am using (at the moment it embedded in other code you would not be interested in), platforms are Windows XP and Windows7-64. Some points: 1. Actually R_tryEvalSilent (and R_tryEval) calls R_ToplevelExec. Moreover if the problem is linked to the SETJMP (which I do not know much about unfortunately, my background is C++) it's my understanding that it should manifest itself even for other parse and evaluation errors. Instead the problem arise if and only if I pass a wrongly escaped string. I.e. rnorm(10a10) does not result in a crash. Is the R code doing something differently in this specific case? 2. My code is almost exactly the same as: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2463437/r-from-c-simplest-possible- helloworld/2464479#2464479 skipping the EXAMPLE 1 part and passing the capture.output(eval(parse(text=" <code>"))) string to R_tryEval in EXAMPLE 2.
