[Rcpp-devel] "Error during wrapup"

(now with some links):

Sure. What happens is that Rcpp::export generates something that calls wrap( std::map<std::string,int> ).

It should not be relevant. 

> So I'm not sure where to debug from the client side. I'm a C/C++ developer, but have no experience with Rcpp internals or the general interface between R and C. I can insert some debug statements on the Rcpp side if you can guide me to where wrap is defined. 

well wrap is defined here: 
https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/blob/master/inst/include/Rcpp/internal/wrap_end.h#L28

It then performs a series of dispatch, that eventually lead to something that handles std::map<std::string,int>: 
https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/blob/master/inst/include/Rcpp/internal/wrap.h#L255

template <typename InputIterator, typename T>
inline SEXP range_wrap_dispatch___impl__cast( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, ::Rcpp::traits::false_type ){
	size_t size = std::distance( first, last ) ;
	const int RTYPE = ::Rcpp::traits::r_sexptype_traits<typename T::second_type>::rtype ;
	Shield<SEXP> x( Rf_allocVector( RTYPE, size ) );
	Shield<SEXP> names( Rf_allocVector( STRSXP, size ) ) ;
	typedef typename ::Rcpp::traits::storage_type<RTYPE>::type CTYPE ;
	CTYPE* start = r_vector_start<RTYPE>(x) ;
	size_t i =0;
	std::string buf ;
	for( ; i<size; i++, ++first){
		start[i] = (*first).second ;
		buf = (*first).first ;
		SET_STRING_ELT( names, i, Rf_mkChar(buf.c_str()) ) ;
	}
	::Rf_setAttrib( x, R_NamesSymbol, names ) ;
	return wrap_extra_steps<T>( x ) ;
}

what I suspect to be the problem is this line:

 ::Rf_setAttrib( x, R_NamesSymbol, names ) ;


> What Romain says makes sense to me, despite my lack of expertise in this area.. the really intermittent nature of the problem and the fact that I can't recreate it in a small / fast running example suggests that perhaps this manifests when R happens to garbage collect at an unfortunate time (if I understood correctly). Thanks again.

Something like that. as hadley hinted, please try this under gc torture, or preferably through a debugger.
