R devel - Oct 2024 - Error compiling 87283 on Windows 10 using Rtools4.4 6335-6327

When compiling R, the build fails after byte compiling grDevices with
the following error:

byte-compiling package 'grDevices'
make[4]: *** [../../../share/make/lazycomp.mk:9:
../../../library/grDevices/R/grDevices.rdb] Error 139
make[3]: *** [Makefile.win:23: all] Error 2
make[2]: *** [Makefile.win:34: R] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:18: all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:392: distribution] Error 2

I restarted the build, as sometimes that allows it to power through,
but it failed at the same point. Any thoughts or suggestions would be
appreciated.

This may be unrelated, but as I was monitoring the compilation, I saw
an warning which I haven't seen before in the 20 or so years I've been
building R on Windows:

In function 'R_chk_memset',
    inlined from 'do_aperm' at ../main/array.c:1754:5:
../main/memory.c:3578:16: warning: 'memset' specified bound between
18446744056529682432 and 18446744073709551608 exceeds maximum object
size 9223372036854775807 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
 3578 |     return n ? memset(s, c, n) : s;
      |

No idea if it is related but I thought I should mention it.

Thank you,

Avi

Dear Avi,

could you please post which compile options are you using? The vanilla 
builds with default options are being tested regularly (and work).

This is known for an LTO build with gcc 14.2.x -- not normally used on 
Windows though.  It is a over-aggressive warning, one we are working on 
for R-devel.
