You have been pushing this harder and further than anybody else, and it is<br>
too bad that it turned out to be inapplicable for your use case, at least in<br>
the current state of affairs.<br>
<br>
Modules work for my use case. I may upload the wrapping of Boost Date_Time to<br>
CRAN one of these days. Should write some more documentation though.<br>
Writing that small package was a rather pleasant experience.<br></blockquote><div><br>It seems to me that memory corruption issues are not a matter of "use case" <br>and fixing them should be given the highest priority. Am I missing something here?<br>

In case anybody wants to look at that, it is on R-Forge inside the Rcpp repo.<br>
