[R-SIG-Mac] Rmpfr on M1 Mac cause 'illegal trap'

[Zhang, Jialin]

Hello,

First time sending an email to this list. Please correct me if I�m doing anything wrong. Thank you!

I am reporting an error when using Rmpfr::mpfr on an M1 MacBook Air. Codes below:

> library(Rmpfr)
> a <- mpfr(1:10, precBits=100)

*** caught illegal operation ***
address 0x10daa2bfb, cause 'illegal trap'

Traceback:
1: mpfr.default(1:10, precBits = 100)
2: mpfr(1:10, precBits = 100)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
