The problem is that my package uses an external pointer to keep track
of a structure created by the lp_solve library. If I use
R_CheckUserInterrupt in the lp_solve abort function it leaves the
structure in a messed-up state after an interrupt occurs. I am not
even able to free the memory allocated in the structure. I need to be
able to tell the lp_solve functions to interrupt themselves if I am
going to support interrupts at all.
I took a longer look at errors.c and it seems my solution should work
as long as neither HAVE_AQUA nor Win32 are defined. Under the
circumstances, I think that's the best I can do.
Any suggestions for a UI independent way to check for interrupts would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kjell

How is R_interrupts_pending going to be set?
It is set in the interrupt handler for SIGINT, but that is not the
only way to indicate an interrupt, and it is not necessarily
available to users of GUIs and embedded R.
Without servicing the GUIs all interaction will be dead, including
sending an interrrupt from menus/buttons/keyboard. See the comment
in the code for R_CheckUserInterrupt.

Hello,
I have some native code that I would like to allow users to
interrupt. However, I would like to do it more gracefully than with
R_CheckUserInterrupt(). The solution I came up with is to call the
following abort function periodically - if it returns 1 then I
clean up and return.
int __WINAPI RlpSolveAbortFunction(lprec *lp, void *userhandle)
{
if(R_interrupts_pending)
return(1);
return(0);
}
This seems to work fine on Mac (sans Aqua) and Linux. Is this going
to be portable? Also, is there anything else I need to do? For
instance set R_interrupts_pending to 0 after I respond to it?
Thanks.
