Why devtools::document fails with unclear C++ error message?












0














I have a vignette that I can build using devtools::build_vignettes() but when I try to build the source package (RStudio/Build/build source package) it fails when executing devtools::document(roclets=c('rd', 'collate', 'namespace', 'vignette')) with the following error message:



R(32119,0x7fff7437f000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff74dc0c30: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Exited with status 6.


This package uses Rcpp but I am definitely not an expert in Cpp and don't understand at all what is going on. I can use the package locally with no troubles.

    Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example? Does the error happen when you call devtools::document() directly with different roclets?

  • The error does not happen when I call the exacte same command from the Rstudio console

  • Also the command devtools::build() works from the RStudio console

  • Weird, but impossible to debug without a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. Make a copy of the project and remove stuff from it until you cannot remove anything without also removing this error message.
