[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp::wrap seg fault (when called with a NULL pointer)
Hi,
yes, after thinking a little bit more I changed my code to:
if(ret == NULL)
return R_NilValue;
else
return Rcpp::wrap(ret);
and now everything works fine. But I'm still wondering whether it would make sense for Rcpp::wrap to return an R_NilValue when called with NULL (instead of seg-faulting..).
Regards,
Christoph

I think this is mostly of the

A Well then don't it
variety. wrap() is tasked with making a valid SEXP out of what you hand it.
Maybe you want to test for NULL before calling it.
