New release? Old version of Rcpp blocking installation of precommit-hooks

[junoslukan]

I was wondering if it would be possible to release a new version? The latest (released, not development) version includes Rcpp 1.0.13 in the renv.lock as its dependency. This version had a bug (see the note in release of 1.0.13-1 and the corresponding change log) which results in the following error upon pre-commit install-hooks:

    In file included from barrier.cpp:31:
    barrier.cpp: In function ‘SEXPREC** get_vector_ptr(SEXP)’:
    ../inst/include/Rcpp/r/compat.h:34:26: error: ‘VECTOR_PTR_RO’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘VECTOR_PTR’?
       34 | # define RCPP_VECTOR_PTR VECTOR_PTR_RO
          |                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

          |                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    make: *** [/usr/lib64/R/etc/Makeconf:204: barrier.o] Error 1

I noticed that since then, you have already updated dependencies, specifically in 5e64119 for Rcpp. However, version 0.4.3.9003 uses the problematic version of Rcpp and thus fails to install.

Additional context

• My operating system is:
• My project uses {renv}.
• the output of packageVersion('renv'): ‘1.0.11’

Can you just reference the git SHA instead of the tag in rev: field of your .pre-commit-config.yaml? I just merged a 2 week old hook dependency PR with #495, so you could try dcd2a60.

Perfect, that works! I didn't know you could reference an un-tagged commit in pre-commit. Thank you for your suggestion!
