[Rd] Problem using ofstream in C++ class in package for MacOS X

[cstrato]

Dear Jochen

Thank you, there seems to be a problem with accessing memory but 
probably not in my simple program.
Here are the essential parts:

1. R-function:
"writeFileCpp" <-
function(outfile=character(0)) {
   r <- .C("WriteFileCpp",as.character(outfile), PACKAGE="MyClass");
   return();
}

2. R-wrapper:
   void WriteFileCpp(char **outfile)
   {
      MyClassA *classA = new MyClassA();
      classA->WriteFileCpp(outfile[0]);
      delete classA;
   }

3. C++ method:
void MyClassA::WriteFileCpp(const char *outfile)
{
   ofstream output(outfile, ios::out);
   output << 21 << endl;
   output.close();
}

This crashes with "non-existent physical address"

Interestingly, the following C++ method works:
void MyClassA::WriteFileCpp(const char *outfile)
{
   ofstream output(outfile, ios::out);
//   output << 21 << endl;
   output.close();
}

This means, that the operator "<<" seems to cause the problem, but why?

Best regards
Christian
