[Rd] Ralloc clash

[Tom McCallum]

But from R_ext/RS.h  you have (my comments are given by <-- some text):

====================================BEGIN  
EXTRACT====================================================
#ifndef STRICT_R_HEADERS  							<-- fair enough this is defined but it  
ends ...

#define R_PROBLEM_BUFSIZE       4096
/* Parentheses added for FC4 with gcc4 and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 */
#define PROBLEM                 {char  
R_problem_buf[R_PROBLEM_BUFSIZE];(sprintf)(R_problem_buf,
#define MESSAGE                 {char  
R_problem_buf[R_PROBLEM_BUFSIZE];(sprintf)(R_problem_buf,
#define ERROR                   ),error(R_problem_buf);}
#define RECOVER(x)              ),error(R_problem_buf);}
#define WARNING(x)              ),warning(R_problem_buf);}
#define LOCAL_EVALUATOR         /**/
#define NULL_ENTRY              /**/
#define WARN                    WARNING(NULL)

#endif 												<-- ifndef clause ends here

/* S Like Memory Management */

extern void *R_chk_calloc(size_t, size_t);
extern void *R_chk_realloc(void *, size_t);
extern void R_chk_free(void *);

#define Calloc(n, t)   (t *) R_chk_calloc( (size_t) (n), sizeof(t) )
#define Realloc(p,n,t) (t *) R_chk_realloc( (void *)(p), (size_t)((n) *  
sizeof(t)) ) <-- This is still defined therefore, is it not?

/* S-PLUS 3.x but not 5.x NULLs the pointer in the following */
#ifndef STRICT_R_HEADERS
#define Free(p)        (R_chk_free( (void *)(p) ), (p) = NULL)
#endif
#define R_Free(p)      (R_chk_free( (void *)(p) ), (p) = NULL)

#define Memcpy(p,q,n)  memcpy( p, q, (size_t)( (n) * sizeof(*p) ) )

====================================END  
EXTRACT====================================================

The STRICT_R_HEADERS does not go around the Realloc function so even with  
STRICT_R_HEADERS defined the problem persists.
  To test I placed "#define STRICT_R_HEADERS" at the top of my single cpp  
file before all the include lines as I am not sure how to pass the -D  
function through to the g++ when doing R CMD SHLIB - would putting it in  
one of the PKG_ environment variables work - if so which?
