And it goes then to my other question: How can you pass to eval a LANGSXP where the CAR is an *anonymous* function, no SYMSXP involved?

You just pass it as value of the call. I suspect the reason it doesn't work is in your code, not in the facility (note that the link above is useless since the construction is mystery - if you were constructing it right, it would work ;)).

Small example:

SEXP myEval(SEXP FN, SEXP first_arg) {
  return eval(LCONS(FN, CONS(first_arg, R_NilValue)), R_GlobalEnv);
}

 > .Call("myEval",function(x) x + 1, 10)
[1] 11

In the eval function in eval.c, you have:

    case LANGSXP:
        if (TYPEOF(CAR(e)) == SYMSXP)
            /* This will throw an error if the function is not found */
            PROTECT(op = findFun(CAR(e), rho));
        else
            PROTECT(op = eval(CAR(e), rho));

So imagine you have a LANGSXP whose CAR is a CLOSXP, the execution goes into the last line of the code snippet above. And re-entring eval with a CLOSXP, the code goes into

    tmp = R_NilValue;           /* -Wall */
#ifdef Win32
    /* This is an inlined version of Rwin_fpreset (src/gnuwin/extra.c)
       and resets the precision, rounding and exception modes of a ix86
       fpu.
     */
    __asm__ ( "fninit" );
#endif

    R_Visible = TRUE;
    switch (TYPEOF(e)) {
    case NILSXP:
    case LISTSXP:
    case LGLSXP:
    case INTSXP:
    case REALSXP:
    case STRSXP:
    case CPLXSXP:
    case RAWSXP:
    case S4SXP:
    case SPECIALSXP:
    case BUILTINSXP:
    case ENVSXP:
    case CLOSXP:
    case VECSXP:
    case EXTPTRSXP:

so PROTECT(op = eval(CAR(e), rho)) evaluates to R_NilValue.

I figured out that's why evaluating a LANGSXP with CAR a CLOSXP simply fails.

I'll have a look at the code snippet you gave, since I do not understand why it doesn't fail the same way mine does.

Thanks a lot.
