Hi!
We’ve recently come across an example where a package (minqa) creates an Rcpp
Function object in a static variable.
This causes R_ReleaseObject to be called by the destructor at a very late point
in time - as part of the system exit function:
static Function cf("c");
I’m wondering if that is considered to be “safe”?
Is the R engine supposed to stay in a state where calls to API functions are
valid, even after it has shut down?
It probably only ever happens with the ReleaseObject function, but even that
could cause problems, e.g., with more elaborate refcounting schemes.
