[R] A question in Rinternals.h

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Please do read the posting guide (clearly you have not as you sent HTML).

- This is the wrong list: it is a question about C code.

- In any case, it is about C.  The R Internals manual may help you, 
otherwise you need to talk to a local C adviser.  (Even if this were not 
off-topic here, we do not know what it is you cannot 'figure out' and 
you need to interact with someone.)
