I fully agree, but developers using C are well aware of the ne
Hi Jim (et al.),
Comments inline (and assume any offense was unintended, these kinds of

Assuming that this is a good idea in the first place, here's a simple
solution, in the context of backward selection.
One could sort the terms, from lowest p-value to highest p-value.

I think it's also worth saying that some of these issues affect C code
as well; e.g. this is not safe:
FILE* f = fopen(...);
Rf_eval(...);
fclose(f);
whereas the C++ equivalent would likely handle closing of the file in
the destructor. In other words, I think many users just may not b
Jim,
I think the main point of Tomas' post was to alert R users to the fact that
there are very serious issues that you have to understand when interfacing R
from C++. Using C++ code from R is fine, in many cases you only want to access
R data, use some library or compute in C++ and return resu
I suspect that the issue is addressed (obliquely) in the examples,
which shows that variables with spaces in them (or otherwise
'non-syntactic', i.e. not satisfying the constraints of legal R symbols)
can be handled by protecting them with backticks (``)
## using non-syntactic names:

The main thing is to post the "small reproducible example".
My (rather long term experience) can be written
if (exists("reproducible example") ) {
DeveloperFixHappens()
} else {
NULL
}

Well, first I can't sign in bugzilla myself, that is why I wrote here
first. Also, I don't know if I have the time at the moment to provide
tests, multiple examples or more. If that is not ok or welcomed, that is
fine, I can come back, whenever I have more time to properly report the bug.

First, thank you to Tomas for writing his recent post[0] on the R
developer blog. It raised important issues in interfacing R's C API
and C++ code.
However I do _not_ think the conclusion reached in the post is helpful

Hi,
I have found a bug in reformulate function and have a solution for it. I
was wondering, where I can submit it?
Best,

Hi Martin,
I take your point - but I'd argue that significance stars are a clumsy
solution to the very real problem that you outline, and their inclusion as
a default sends a signal about their appropriateness that I would prefer R
not to endorse.
My preference (to the extent that it matters) wou
