[Rcpp-devel] R Session Sometimes Aborts

I actually think that the issue may be related to conversions between
int/IntegerVectors and double/NumericVector/std::vector<double>. I was
talking with the terra package author to see if the focalCpp function can
take an IntegerVector instead of a NumericVector/ /std::vector<double>, as
it seemed initially to be working and he said that Rcpp automatically
coerces a std::vector<double> to an Rcpp::IntegerVector. However, when I
replace the call to C_make_glcm which was causing the issue to just
out(i,0) = xw[0] (i.e. return the first value), the edges that should be NA
evaluate to -2147483648 so maybe this automatic conversion doesn't work if
there are NAs. I can reproduce this using only Rcpp by having a function
that takes an IntegerVector and returns the first value of that vector as a
double, in which case NA's are changed to -2147483648 (code below). Is this
expected behavior, and are there any ways to guard against this?

Thanks,
Alex


library(Rcpp)
cppFunction('double C_fun2(IntegerVector x){
  size_t start = 0;
  size_t end = x.length()-1;
  IntegerVector xw = x[Rcpp::Range(start,end)]; //Current window of
elevation values
  double out=xw[0];
  return(out);
}')

C_fun2(c(NA,1))
# -2147483648
