Thanks for posting. Just for the record, and just like the main R lists, we prefer posts with full (correct) names and some sort of affiliation where available.
You do know who you are dealing with when you get reply from me; it seems polite to offer the same.

A while back, in the RcppDE package I managed offer passage of user-defined C++ functions which the DE engine then optimized. The XPtr class in Rcpp makes that easy. A couple of days ago I gave a talk at U of C / Booth and worked a similar example into my slides (see the 2nd set -- available at my 'Presentations' page). I think that scheme is what you'd want here too. Hope this helps. The topic is good: how to pass user-controlled _compiled_ code through so we should work this out / document it.
