Thanks, But this didn't work. It installs msys2 along with lots of other stuff, and gdb would not start as before (missing DLL's). Then I tried to run the command you suggested again, and there was a warning from the package manager about a cycle detected, but now gdb starts with the following messages... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", ine 3, in

Thanks for the detailed feedback Tomas, I ran the command 'pacman -Syuu' again, just to be sure, and this time it says "there is nothing to do." It appears that gdb is working. I was spooked by the diagnostics that you say is a known (not serious) issue. My mistake was not setting a breakpoint on main, so I confused problems with gdb with problems with the program I'm

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.

Dear listers, I have update to rtools43 and, using R 4.2.3 I have been surprised not to be able to compile packages needing compilation when updating. Looks like the path given in gcc? -I"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.3/include" -DNDEBUG -DNTIMER -I./SuiteSparse_config -DUSE_FC_LEN_T -I"C:/rtools42/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix/include"???? -O2 -Wall? -std=gnu99 -mfpmath=sse

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

This post asks members of the R community, users and developers, to comment on issues related to the GNU Public License and R community policies more generally. The GPL says very little about protecting the the rights of original contributors by not disseminating misleading information about them. Indeed, for pragmatic reasons it effectively assumes that original authors have no rights regarding

Is it possible to set Windows' search path from within R, 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). Thanks, Dominick [[alternative HTML version

I wrote the Rcpp library and the RcppTemplate package to make it easier for developers to contribute packages to the R community. In addition to providing detailed documentation on package creation it provides a clean object mapping between R anc C++ that helps developers to implement packages that benefit from the performance of C++ and the flexibility of R. The package named 'Rcpp' was

It appears that the runtime for an R script can more than double if a few references to a function foo() 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

The R docs say that there are two methods that the C programmer can allocate memory, one where R automatically frees the memory on return from .C/.Call, and the other where the user takes responsibility for freeing the storage. Both methods involve using R-provided functions. What happens when the user uses the standard "new" allocator? What about when a C++ application uses STL and

Consider the C (or C++) code called from the .Call interface: SEXP foo() { SEXP *p = PROTECT(allocVector(REALSXP, 10)); ... 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

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.

Hello, I submitted the package RcppTemplate to CRAN a couple of weeks ago but the Mac OS X binary has not appeared, and the person 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

The package cxxPack builds without problems at CRAN under all OS's except Windows 64bit, and in the case of Windows 64bit there is a problem in a call to dyn.load(). This call happens while processing the package vignette, and the odd thing about this is that there are several calls to dyn.load() that work fine before the one that fails. This seems to suggest that Windows 64bit is imposing

Hello, I'm trying to build R from source under Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) by following the FAQ and I run into a problem with the Fortran compiler (downloaded from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/), specifically, gfortran-4.2.3. I have Xcode 4.6 installed along with the latest command-line tools (dated Feb. 9, 2013). When I try to run configure with or without the

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]]
