If I had to guess, maybe there is some initialization that occurs when
your mylib::Simulation object is constructed, and you need to ensure
that code is only run once? (Perhaps the code that defines the program
options needs to be hidden behind an initialization flag, or something
like that)
Nonetheless, this isn't really an Rcpp question, and it's hard to know
for sure without seeing how your Simulation object is defined.
