[Rcpp-devel] how to get rid of the warning message: no graphics system to unregister

I think you've worked this out, but I thought this line should have been:
   double two_sample_logrank(RInside &R, double* t, int* d,
     int sample_size){ ...

Dirk/Romain: A quick look at the source [1] shows no copy constructor
has been defined, which means a default one will be created that will do
copy-by-value on all member variables... and that looks dangerous.

How about making copy private [2]? E.g. adding this section at the end
of the class definition in RInside.h:

  private:
   RInside(const RInside&){
	throw std::logic_error("Copy not allowed");
	}
   RInside& operator= (const RInside&){
	throw std::logic_error("Assignment not allowed");
	}

(I had them throw in order to catch any copy attempt from inside the
RInside class itself.)

If copy-by-value is safe, and/or copy is needed in certain
circumstances, then ignore all that :-)
