Hi,

I don't have a Windows developing environment just now, so I can not figure
out what is wrong. I can try in the weekends.

Just little personal advice.

(1) Maybe you should also put the compiling commands here, not only the
output. It may be easier to see your configuration and the problem.

(2) Since you want to debug in a pure C++ environment, why not remove all
the code related to R and Rcpp? As my personal habit, I develop and debug
pure C++ code first, then integrate with R.

Best,

KK
