Thank you for the quick and kind reply, Kevin! You are right.
I confirmed that the program option object is defined as a local variable
in mylib::Simulation constructor, and is destructed correctly. But I found
that the object is initialized with other objects from several source
files, and they were defined as static variables. Changing them into local
variables has solved the problem. What I didn't know was, therefore, that
static variables do survive after Rcpp function calling. Now I will have to
take a careful look at other variables too.
Thanks a lot!!
