Thank you for the suggestion. I have replaced the code as suggested, but I had attempted this conversion earlier. Unfortunately, I still receive the same segmentation fault (and backtrace). The underlying problem no longer appears to relate to type conversion. The following code represents the entirety of the extension's R and C code (and NAMESPACE file), and still causes the segmentation fault: NAMESPACE: --------------------------------------------------- useDynLib("tstlib") export( "ptest" ) ptest.R: --------------------------------------------------- ptest <- function() { .Call("Rwrite", PACKAGE="tstlib");}; ptest.c: --------------------------------------------------- #include <R.h> void Rwrite() { printf("[%i] %s",12,"Hi"); } ptest.R: --------------------------------------------------- ptest <- function() { .Call("Rwrite", PACKAGE="tstlib");}; zzz.R: --------------------------------------------------- .onLoad <- function(libname, pkgname) { } .onUnload <- function(libpath) { library.dynam.unload("forkex", libpath) } This is just about the most simple example I can think of, and don't really know why it would segfault (if I change the interface in ptest.R above from .Call to .C, no segfault occurs). The following is the output from `R CMD SHLIB ptest.c`: gcc -m64 -std=gnu99 -I/usr/include/R -I/usr/local/include -fpic -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -c ptest.c -o ptest.o gcc -m64 -std=gnu99 -shared -L/usr/local/lib64 -o ptest.so ./ptest.o -L/usr/lib64/R/lib -lR ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
