Hello Rcpp users, Over the past few days, I have tested Rcpp on windows, and it appears that it is not possible to have automatic exception forwarding on this platform.
Since Rcpp 0.7.1, we have been using and promoting this feature, but I am afraid we are going to have to remove it of it does not work on windows. The feature is based on installing a custom terminate handler (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/std/exception/set_terminate/) that picks up the current exception and forward it to R. I have tried many things without success, and I was wondering if someone here would have a clue. Short of this feature, we have to switch back to explicit try/catch blocks, something like this: try{ // some user code } catch( std::exception& __ex__){ forward_exception_to_r( __ex__ ) ; } where forward_exception_to_r is an Rcpp function that gathers some information from the exception (its class and its message).
