Is it safe to call Rprintf and REprintf from a background thread? I'm
working on a package that makes calls to fprintf(stderr, ...) on a
background thread when errors happen, but when I run R CMD check, it
says:
Compiled code should not call entry points which might terminate R nor
write to stdout/stderr instead of to the console, nor the system RNG.
Is it safe to replace these calls with REprintf()?
