Understandable, the manual is not toi clear there. The easiest answer, in such cases, is IMHO provided by other source packages. Too bad the Google Code Search is now defunct. But besides a recursive grep in R's src/ directory, a simple Google search for "site:r-project.org Calloc" also brings the solution up rightaway.
