We have packed logical vectors into integers, 32 flags at a time and
then want to AND or OR these vectors of "integers" using other C functions.
The problem: occasionally, the packed sequence of 32 logical values
resembles NA, causing the error message:
Error in bitAND(packed1, packed2, lenx) :
NAs in foreign function call (arg 1)
How does one instruct R to avoid checking for NAs?

How to avoid test for NAs in foreign function call
2 messages · Knut M. Wittkowski, Tony Plate
Supply NAOK=TRUE argument to .C; the help page for .C() contains the
following:
Usage
.C(name, ..., NAOK = FALSE, DUP = TRUE, PACKAGE)
Also, you might want to consider using the "raw" data type instead of
integers -- that way you should have fewer problems with R code making
unwanted interpretations of certain bit patterns.
