Thanks guys, exactly what I needed indeed. One follow-up question: Is there a way to use the XPtr object to prevent the c++ object it points to from going out of scope? It seems like the c++ garbage collector destroys the handle after the function returns, even though the handle is referenced by the XPtr that I just created. I was hoping that it would automatically be protected as long as the EXTPTRSXP is pointing to it, but that does not seem to be the case. I am currently working around it by maintaining a list of handles in the global scope, but it would be more elegant if R(cpp) would take care of it. _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
