I think you can use R objects, as long as you don't call R functions on
them (not even from R's C api, although some of them are currently fine)
and consider them as read-only. E.g. if you have a numeric vector, you can
do
double *cvec = REAL(vec);
and then use cvec in your thread(s).
This is pretty restrictive, but could be enough in some cases.
