Hello everybody,

I just ran into the following problem: Using Rcpp::wrap with a NULL pointer 
crashes my R. I'm not so sure if this is a bug or if I'm using Rcpp::wrap in a 
way it shouldn't be used, so I wanted to discuss this here.

Here is some example code:

This works fine:
#-----------------------------------
library(inline)

src <- '
    const char* ret = "test";
    return Rcpp::wrap(ret);
    '

fun <- cxxfunction(signature(), src, plugin="Rcpp")
fun()
#-----------------------------------

Whereas this crashes R:
#-----------------------------------

src <- '
const char* ret = NULL;
return Rcpp::wrap(ret);
'

fun <- cxxfunction(signature(), src, plugin="Rcpp")
fun()
#-----------------------------------

I'm using Rcpp 0.9.4 and R.2.13, which I think are the latest versions.

Regards,
Christoph

PD: Dirk, Romain, I just read through the slides you made for this workshop a 
month ago. Great work! Thanks a lot!
