External pointers and an apparent memory leak
I'm using external pointers and seemingly leaking memory. My determination of a memory leak is that the R process continually creeps up in memory as seen by top while the usage as reported by gc() stays flat. I have isolated the C code:
void h5R_allocate_finalizer(SEXP eptr) {
Rprintf("Calling the finalizer\n");
void* vector = R_ExternalPtrAddr(eptr);
free(vector);
R_ClearExternalPtr(eptr);
}
SEXP h5R_allocate(SEXP size) {
int i = INTEGER(size)[0];
char* vector = (char*) malloc(i*sizeof(char));
SEXP e_ptr = R_...
