[R-pkg-devel] trying to understand an error

[Kevin Ushey]

For what it's worth, the package compiles successfully on my own macOS
machine but it takes a long time to build just because of how large it is.
Perhaps the CRAN build machine is set to interrupt long-running
installations, under the assumption that they're hanging / frozen?

Given how many C++ source files your package has, it may be prudent to
combine some of them into single C++ translation units, so they can be
built faster (avoid re-parsing the heavy BH and RcppEigen headers so many
times during compilation).

A simple way to accomplish this -- suppose you have files A.cpp, B.cpp,
C.cpp and wanted to compile them together. You could create a file:

    #include <src/A.cpp>
    #include <src/B.cpp>
    #include <src/C.cpp>

and then compile that single file to effectively build those three files
all at once. This does of course require that your source files don't have
any accidental symbol collisions, but I think it would be worth
investigating.

Best,
Kevin
