Cheng-Yi, that's interesting. I don't think I'll have the need or time to play with your nsR.c stuff anytime soon, but maybe you can upload it to file-storage or something in case others are interested?

Btw, what did you do about thread safety? Last I heard I thought R was not thread-safe, but maybe it is now?

In fact, what I do is just a POC, I follow the document Writing R Extensions and AOLserver C Module Example , R provide many numerical/stat function for C and FORTRAN program , maybe R was not thread-safe, but I "guess" the function call are thread-safe. This is the first step, what I need is pass a tcl list to nsR, and do some plotting job and return the image without fork a new R process.
