Calls to Rf_error #258

@Enchufa2

Description

@Enchufa2

We've detected calls to Rf_error in your C++ code, which may be problematic, see RcppCore/Rcpp/issues/1247. Rcpp will warn about these calls in the near future, and will error later on. The purpose is to force package developers to think about their uses of Rf_error to:

  • substitute them with Rcpp::stop in most cases, which does proper unwinding, calling destructors in the process to avoid memory leaks; or
  • protect them with parenthesis as in (Rf_error)(...) if these uses are justified (e.g. in callbacks that are passed on to R functions).

Please review your Rf_error calls and adjust them accordingly.
