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

[William Dunlap]

Have you tried running your code on the Mac after setting gctorture(TRUE)?

By the way, valgrind showed the opposite of a memory leak - the code was
using memory that it had declared free.  A leak is when the code does not
free memory that it can no longer use.
