Hello,
what happens, when a function (R-extension in C), that allocated memory (strdup(), malloc()/calloc() and so on), and is used in interactive mode, then will be stopped via Ctrl-C? I would assume that there remains allocated memory, which is not usable and also not accessable (hence no way to free it). Are there any mechanisms in R that could help in rolling back the allocation? Normally in an interactive session "some memory" might not be a problem, because it will be run shortly; but I prefer clean solutions. And also, if it's much mem, which is allocated each time, and one does many trials and Ctr-C's, even an interactive session might eat a lot of mem. So I would be interested in a solution to this (potential) problem.
