Some additional details would help. What platform? What does the C++ code do that might cause a memory leak? How are you calling it?
I don't see why unloading the library would free memory even if it were allocated outside R's memory management. Unless you're using Windows you don't need to worry about allocating memory for R, just check that there are no limits on memory allocation set by the administrator.

This procedure calls some of my own C++ code - in case it was this code causing a memory leak I unload and then reload the .so file every time, however I still get the same problem. The procedure is run 16000 times and always calls the lm() function. My believe at the moment is that I need to allocate more memory for R - is this correct? I did try envoking R from the command line using R --min-vsize=1000M, however still no luck. I have googled around and looked at the help files, but I am still confused about how to fix this problem. Any insight would be greatly appeciated.
