[R-pkg-devel] Exited with status -1073741819.

Dear all,

I updated RStudio, Rtools and R-devel, and then I tried to build a 
package in RStudio that I had been able to build before without any 
problems. But now I got the following error:

Updating SADISA documentatiob
Loading SADISA
Exited with status -1073741819.

That's all. What is this exit status? I can still build other packages, 
so it does not happen all the time. I can use "Load all" and all 
functions sseem to work fine.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards, Rampal Etienne

Do you get the same error if you try to build on the command line outside
of RStudio?

Dear Dason,

I don't get this error, but it crashes anyway. I've that if I use the
stable version of R (3.4.2) I do NOT get the error anymore, so I assume
there is something wrong with the current R-devel.

Regards,

and you don't show what "crashes" means here.
(and yes, Dason is right: The RStudio status number in the
'Subject' is not really useful)

OTOH, the CRAN checks of your package run without any problem
with all 5 versions of R-devel there :

  https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_SADISA.html

so it may rather be something specific to your setup ??

Dear Marc, Martin, Dason,

I agree that the status number is not very informative, but neither is:
"Package does not build". The point is that I have no clue what is going
on, and was just hoping that someone might have seen the exit status
number before.

I have done a clean install as suggested but still it won't work with
R-devel, but it does with R-3.4.2.

I don't see how my setup is special in any way. It never caused me any
problems until installing the latest R-devel. What are the changes in
the latest R-devel that affect the building of packages?

Cheers, Rampal

Rampal,

One additional thought here.

Since you reference RTools in your initial post, I presume that this is occurring on Windows, though not sure which version.

Have you tried to build the package using the WinBuilder site provided by Uwe?

If not, go here:

  https://win-builder.r-project.org

and request a build of the package using R-Devel.

See if any warnings/errors are picked up there. If not, then that would seem to reinforce the notion that there is something going on locally on your system.

Also, unless I missed it, you did not indicate which version of R-Devel you are running or where you obtained it. Did you get it from:

  https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html

?

Regards,

Marc

1000s of packages are built every day with R-devel, notably on
the machines that produce the CRAN checks, but also in several
if not many other places.

Consequently, it must be *your* problem, notably as your package
does build flawlessly on 5 different CRAN check machines running R-devel.

But of course, the purpose of *this* list (not of R-devel!) is
to help you with this problem,
hence back to what you wrote above:

"Package does not build"  is actually  more useful than a status
   number that looks random (and/or from a large integer overflow ..).

To me it would mean the package does not even build and
therefore *check*ing the package did not even properly start.

As next step (in solving the problem) you should probably learn
to either debug the devtools which you are probably using
[otherwise you would give us more information !],
or---even more useful in the long run---learn to build a package
in the shell (aka "terminal") instead of inside RStudio, because then,
using 'Rcmd build <pkg>' would almost surely give you more clues
than just "does not build".

You wrote

The low byte of that status code is 5, which I think means a segmentation
fault - reading
or writing an address that you do not have permission of use.

  [1] "c0000005"
If your code uses memory that it has not allocated it is somewhat random
whether you
get a segmentation fault or not.  'valgrind' can detect such errors more
reliably.  Try that
on a platform where your package builds.
