Dear mailing list,
For a project I am working on speeding up a simulation in R by
translating it to C++ (using inline and Rcpp). It is done and works fine
on my windows 7 64bit R, but for some reason it is not working on my
supervisors latest mac OSX (not sure of the version. should be up to date).
The strange thing is that it did work at first. It compiled and ran as
expected. We then proceeded by changing a few things, resulting in the
function not compiling anymore. When we then used exactly the same
script as before it suddenly did not work anymore. I get these errors:
Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!
file345af547.cpp: In function ?SEXPREC* file345af547(SEXPREC*, SEXPREC*,

In addition: Warning message:

With relevant lines:
220 : Demoplayers = Demoplayers - 1;
646 : leeftijd = leeftijd + 1;
Demoplayers and leeftijd are both NumericVectors. Does anyone know if
there is a common bug on MacOSX that for some reason makes the inline
compiler not work anymore? The cxxfunction example works fine though.
Best,
Sacha
