I'm afraid I haven't quite got the hang of this yet. Here's a Hello
World:
#include <R.h>
#include <Rinternals.h>
#include <Rembedded.h>
#include <stdio.h>
extern int R_running_as_main_program; /* in ../unix/system.c */
int main(int ac, char **av)
{
SEXP aleph, beth;
// R_running_as_main_program = 1; // A
// Rf_initialize_R(ac, av); // B
// Rf_mainloop(); // C
// R_running_as_main_program = 0; // a
// Rf_initialize_R(ac, av); // b
// aleph = PROTECT(allocVector(VECSXP, 2)); // 1
// aleph = Rf_mkString("hoodunnit"); // 2
// aleph = allocVector(REALSXP, 2); // 3
return 0;
}
The simple example of a front end given in Chapter 8 is obtained by
uncommenting A, B and C, and that works fine. It gives an
interactive shell.
If instead I uncomment any of 1, 2 or 3 I have just a simple
declaration and assignment similar to several I have found in the R
source files. The only difference I can see is that I am running in
main() rather than in a C function that is called by R. Yet if I try
to run this I get a segfault.
I reasoned that when starting R probably sets up some data structures
that are needed so I tried inserting lines a and b, but I still get a
segfault.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
{ I need to be able to create SEXPs to feed eval(). I don't yet know
what kind of SEXPs but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it! }
