[R-pkg-devel] New package with C++ code causes R abort in RStudio, not in R console.

[Luc De Wilde]

Dear Ivan,

Thank you for your reply!
The error occurs on my local machine(s), where the dll is always reproduced by the "install package".
I have attached a debugger (from Visual Studio) to the R process, which gives me the message "A breakpoint instruction (__debugbreak() statement or similar call) was executed in rsession-utf8.exe.

When I go to the dll module in the Call Stack I get the message "Binary was not built with debug information". I do not know how to ask R CMD INSTALL to produce info which can be used by a debugger, perhaps you can direct me to the correct information to do so (in Windows)?

Luc

This is a low-confidence guess, but there's a stray src/lavaanC.dll in
the repository. If you install the package straight from the source
directory, you may pick up the *.dll without recompiling it, which may
be incompatible with the version of R running inside RStudio.

If this does reproduce on a clean installation, the most informative
way forward would be to attach a debugger to the RStudio's R process
before it crashes.
