data.table not available as win binary for R 3.5

FWIW, I see that stringdist also doesn't pass R CMD check on r-release and
r-devel on Windows while Linux or r-oldrel on Windows gives no problems[1].


A quick scan of the release notes on Windows specific changes doesn't give
me a clue yet. I see the following possibly significant warning in the
output on Windows:

Warning: stack imbalance in '{', 39 then 40

I don't have a Windows PC handy where I can quickly reproduce this so if
anyone has solved similar problems it would be nice if they could be posted
here.

Best,
Mark

Dear all,

to my astonishment data.table cannot be installed on R 3.5 Windows. When
checking the package page, the Windows binary is available for download.

The package check page for data.table shows that is currently failing
CMD check. As a precaution, CRAN does not publish binaries for
packages that do not pass check, so I think this is why it seems
unavailable.
