Hello, I am encountering problems when there is a '%' character in package .Rd files. More precisely, CRAN is having problems with these characters when running check, whereas I am not seeing any problems under Linux and Windows. I did see these problems, and found that escaping the %'s fixes the problem in my testing, but apparently this does not fix the problem when check is run at

On second thought, there is a lot of metapramming code in Rcpp that runs before main, so I was wrong to say nothing can happen before main() is called. Strategically placed print statements may be the best strategy.

...active role in the evolution of shared values and expectations. In this spirit I respectfully request that the R community consider the following. The author line of the latest release of the R package Rcpp (0.8.9) was revised as follows: From: "based on code written during 2005 and 2006 by Dominick Samperi" To: "a small portion of the code is based on code written during 2005 and 2006 by Dominick Samperi" As it is highly unusual (and largely impossible) to quantify the relative size of the the contribution made by each author of GPL'ed software, this has effectively chang...

...or to tell Windows how to find a DLL in some other way from R? Specifically, if a package DLL depends on another DLL the normal requirement is that the second DLL be in the search path so Windows can find it (there are other tricks, but they apply at the Windows level, not at the R level).

...program I'm trying to debug! Incidentally, my remark about mingw-w64 problems in other communities alluded to the Haskell development community, where an ABI incompatibility was discovered about a year ago. It is discussed by Ben Gamari here https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19945.

...no keyboard input, and ultimately must be terminated by closing the window. It appears there are other development communities negatively impacted by the fork to mingw-w64. This did not go smoothly. Perhaps it would be safer to simply provide a version of Rtools42 that comes with gdb and msys2?

...allocates memory? In both of these cases the R-provided functions are not used (to my knowledge), yet I have not seen any problems. How is the memory that R manages and garbage collects kept separate from the memory that is allocated on the C++ side quite independently of what R is doing?

...we can "self-organize" and find an interpretation of GPL that benefits all R users, and all package contributors as well. A minimal resolution of this issue would be to simply rename 'Rcpp' to something like 'RInside', or to something else that is not misleading. Thanks, Dominick

It appears that my archived packages Rcpp and RcppTemplate have been removed at CRAN, yet they appeared in the CRAN archives until recently. What is the CRAN policy on archives and removal? Thanks, Dominick [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...son in charge of that process (Simon) suspects that the problem may be due to a "nested DESCRIPTION file" so that "Package:" becomes RcppTemplateRcppTemplate, or something like this. Can somebody explain what a nested DESCRIPTION file is so I can resolve this problem? Thanks, Dominick

...are replaced by more explict references of the form pkgname::foo(). The more explicit references are of course required when two loaded packages define the same function. I can understand why use of this mechanism is not free in an interpreted environment like R, but the cost seems rather high. Dominick [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...imposing some kind of resource constraint that limits the number of shared libs that can be loaded at one time. Another odd thing about this is that everything worked under Windows 64bit before the changes were made to serialize the build of packages that depend on each other. Any ideas?

...)); ... UNPROTECT(1); return p; } Why is there no danger that the allocated memory will be garbage collected after the UNPROTECT, but before the return of p? I have used code like this for some time and have never had a problem, but I'm not sure if/why it is guaranteed to work. Thanks, Dominick [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

FYI, one platform where I have not been able to get interactive rgl working is iOS 8. iOS 8 is supposed to support WebGL, and Javascript is enabled.

...uspect that you may have to upgrade to "Vista Ultimate Edition" to do so.) I don't have a solution for this problem. Perhaps another Vista user can provide one. Of course, one possible solution is to downgrade to Windows XP and wait for the kinks to be worked out in Vista... Thanks, Dominick
