[R-sig-Debian] Experiences with clang/llvm compilation of Rcpp-based code on Debian-based distributions
(Apologies for cross-posting but my request relates to both R/C++ and to Debian-based platforms.) I was recently compiling Rcpp-based code on an Ubuntu system and had a syntax error that produced a page or two of complicated error messages. A developer who main platform is a Mac said that the compilers in clang/llvm provided more focussed and comprehensible error messages. Has anyone tried compiling C++ code using Rcpp with clang++ on Debian-based systems? If so, what are your experiences?
