i was trying to learn more about how to use Rcpp package for R. So i started testing basic sorting algorithms using Rcpp.
I was starting at Hadley Wickham tutorial [here](http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Rcpp.html#getting-started).

I successfully implemented insertion sort recursively this way:

```
library(Rcpp)

vetor<-sample(100)
vetor
cppFunction("
    NumericVector insertionsortRC(NumericVector vetor, int n) {
        double aux;
        int i;

        if(n>1) {
            insertionsortRC(vetor,n-1);
            aux=vetor[n-1];
            i=n-1;
            while(vetor[i-1]>aux && i>=0 ) {
                vetor[i]=vetor[i-1];
                i--;
                }
            vetor[i]=aux;
            }

        return vetor;
        }
    ")

```

But the function ask for 2 arguments, then i tried this way:

```
cppFunction("
    NumericVector insertionsortRC(NumericVector vetor) {
        int n = vetor.size();

        double aux;
        int i;

        if(n>1) {
            vetor.erase(n-1);
            insertionsortRC(vetor);
            aux=vetor[n-1];
            i=n-1;
            while(vetor[i-1]>aux && i>=0 ) {
                vetor[i]=vetor[i-1];
                i--;
                }
            vetor[i]=aux;
            }

        return vetor;
        }
    ")

```

I think [erase](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/erase/) was not a good idea here, it seem that i erase the element from memory and cant recover it later, after the recursion call. I thought also that the problem could be
on vetor.erase(n-1); line, tried vetor.erase(n); and it compiled, but didn't work at all.

With vetor.erase(n); i got the following error in R:

> 
> insertionsortRC(vetor)
>  **\* Error in `/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x098db548 \***
> 
> 
> 

with vetor.erase(n-1); it got a strange output:

Could someone tell me if:
01. Is it possible to implement this code, like this, using Rcpp and R, calling the function with only one argument, the vector of data?
02. How to do it correctly?
