[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp example that crashes on 64 bit Windows

[Rajen Shah]

Hello,

I am having trouble debugging a package that appears to work fine on Mac
operating systems but crashes on Unix and Windows.

I have found the following example that crashes on my Windows setup
(session info copied below)

IntegerVector runif_int2() {
  return wrap(floor(runif(1000000)));
}

When this is called about 5-10 times in succession R crashes (e.g. with
set.seed(1), but this doesn't seem to matter).

Any ideas about why this crashes would be much appreciated. To be clear, I
am not looking for an alternative to the above code (which simply produces
a vector of zeroes), but would like to know what aspects of this cause a
crash so I know what code structures may be causing problems in the package
I am creating. The code does not appear to crash on Mac and I have yet to
try it on Unix.

Many thanks in advance,

Rajen
