Incorrect error message in Rget (confusion re "Fortran" vs "R" type)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

*** What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a type-double variable rval in R
2. Attempt to Rget it into a Fortran integer fvar
3. Read error message

*** What is the expected output?

Diagnostic that tells you ur trying to read an R double into a Fortran integer

*** What do you see instead?

The inexact contrary

*** What version of RFortran are you using?

2.1.2

*** If you have a coding solution to this defect please include the file
(or preferably a svn patch) as an attachment

attached

*** Please provide any additional information below.

The bug is in the confused names. In procedure 'checkType', Rvartype is 
actually the type of the Fortran variable. Whereas 'SymType' is the type of the 
variable in R.

The attached patch is a patch, not a definitive solution, because the argument 
names remain misleading. This is opaque to a user.

Error message was indeed misleading. It has now been reworded to reduce 
confusion and the argument names changed to better match their role. 

Will be included in the v3.0 release of RFortran
