.... I've followed up the examples of the documentation showing how to run R embedded, and I got it partially working. However, I have a problem with the reference handling of the R objects. I've followed this strategy: every time I call a function in R and it answers me a SEXP, I called R_PreserveObject(sexp), and wrap it with a Smalltalk object. Whenever the Smalltalk object dies, I release the R object by calling R_ReleaseObject(sexp). This seems to handle well the life cycle, but makes the running process to use a growing and a never ending amount of memory. Actually, after experimenting a...

Apologies, I am resending this because my emails seem to go in HTML form. Hello, This is a question that probably reveals my lack of understanding. In a C function (call it cfunc), i created a SEXP, called S, and then called R_PreserveObject on S. I returned the SEXP to the calling R function (call it rfunc). Note, I didn't call R_ReleaseObject on S. v <- .Call("cfunc") So, are the following statements correct 1. S is 'doubly' protected from the GC by being associated both with 'v' and because it...
