I have tested the solutions suggested by Simon and Thomas on a Linux
machine. These are my findings:
On Windows you can look at the variable "UserBreak", available from
Rembedded.h. Outside of Windows, you can look at R_interrupts_pending,
available from R_ext/GraphicsDevice.h. R_ext/GraphicsDe
Dear Simon,
thanks again for your explanations. Your previous e-mail clarified
several points for me.
Actually, it just came to me that there is a hack you could use. [...]
That actually looks quite nice. At least when compared to my currently

Thank you for your response, Simon.
1. Calling R_CheckUserInterrupt() interrupts immediately, so I have
no possibility to exit my code gracefully. In particular, I suppose
that objects created on the heap (e.g., STL containers) are not
destructed properly.
In general, you're responsible for the
Hello,

in C++ are very time consuming (several hours), so the user needs to be
able to interrupt them. Currently, the only way I found to do so is
calling R_CheckUserInterrupt() frequently. Unfortunately, there are
