Arnaud Barré 3fa5c8c652 Fix R memory leak on exception
There is a possible memory leak in case the SWIG_exception_fail macro
is called. The problem is related to its definition that call the
function Rf_warning. This function (as well as Rf_error) involves
a longjmp over C++ destructors on the stack. Thus, all the objects
allocated on the heap are not freed.

Closes #914
