Hello,
I used to use a (somehow complicated) code in C and I have tried to adapt it
to be called from R without making an excessive amount of changes. I am
afraid I cannot post the code here, but I am going to try to describe the
problem as accurately as possible.
I have some arguments that are most of the cases required for internal C
operations only; but as they are needed a few times as arguments, they are
still passed as arguments. Another argument is a "switch" (with value 0 or
1) that states whether these "arguments" are really needed as arguments or
not. When such switch is 0 (says "no"), the C code "feels free" to
manipulate these "arguments", and in particular it tries to modify its
extension (reallocate).
To be clear:
I define the "argument" in R: values1 <- double(size)
values1 is passed as an argument in ".C".
If the switch is set to 0 (says that "values1" is not a real argument), the
C function tries to reallocate the pseudo-argument values1:
double *tmp2 = realloc(values1, new_size);
if(tmp2 != NULL){
values1 = tmp2;
}
else{
Rprintf("\nFATAL ERROR: Could not allocate memory for the
array\n");
exit(2);
}
But then, when calling the function ".C", I get *** error for object ...:
pointer being reallocated was not allocated
Is there any workaround for this?
Thank you very much in advance,
David
Can you please Cc to me any replies, just in case I may miss any of them
among the whole amount of emails :-) ?
