I my experience you will be best off simply by restarting R.  When I develop
with Rcpp, I tend to do my tests on the command-line using /usr/bin/r (from our
littler project) or Rscript.  You will notice that RStudio, when rebuilding /
reloading also restarts R.   There are some people who claim that you can
cleanly unload so your mileage may differ -- I prefer clean starts.
