A review:
The C++ math header undefines isnan, so if isnan is a macro, ISNAN() will
not work in C++ code.
C99 specifies that isnan is a macro, but in C90 compilers, where it is an
extension, isnan is often a function (explaining why the issue didn't come
up earlier). For example, isnan is a macro on my Mac laptop but a function
on my Linux desktop.
R-devel now defines ISNAN to call a function if used in C++ code. It still
calls isnan in C code.
