[R-pkg-devel] How to debug segfault when running build -> document in Rstudio that includes TMB module

[Carl Schwarz]

I'm trying to update my SPAS package to respond to a CRAN check. Before
starting the changes, I tried to rebuild my package, but now get a segfault
when I try to do a devtools::document() or devtools::check(args =
c('--as-cran')). See below for output from the Rstudio "Build" window.

I've
- reinstalled ALL packages
- reinstalled R (4.3.2 on MacOS Intel Chip)
- reinstalled Rstudio

When I try a rebuild/document on a sister package it runs fine, so I
suspect that the problem is related to using a TMB module that is part of
the SPAS package written in Cpp.

How do I start to "debug" this to identify the problem?

Thanks
Carl Schwarz
