SET_TYPEOF

[bbolker]

With the usual apologies if this is a red herring: the lme4 package is getting

Found non-API call to R: ‘SET_TYPEOF’. Compiled code should not call non-API entry points in R.

NOTEs with r-devel. My best guess is that these are coming upstream from Rcpp, e.g. see here; I don't find any instances of SET_TYPEOF in the lme4, Matrix, or RcppEigen code ...

We appear to have three uses of it:

edd@ahmad:~/git/rcpp(master)$ ag -c SET_TYPEOF
inst/include/Rcpp/Pairlist.h:1
inst/include/Rcpp/Language.h:1
inst/include/Rcpp/r_cast.h:1
edd@ahmad:~/git/rcpp(master)$ 

But I do not think I can offer you anything in the short term. Plead with CRAN that it is not you...

Yes, it's clear that we will have to address many of these, but of course it takes time. I don't think CRAN can expect to raise those NOTEs and WARNINGs and have them fixed overnight. I hope they can live with them for a few months in downstream packages to give us here time to adapt, address them one at a time and test properly.

[bbolker]

Thanks, I wasn't asking for them to be fixed in a hurry, just raising the issue.

[Enchufa2]

Yes, I figured that much. :) Just stating the obvious so that you have a reference to plead with CRAN. ;-)
