-----------------------------------
Summary: [R] Add BuildInfo from C++ to arrow_info
Key: ARROW-12602
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12602
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Weston Pace
In the C++ library there is arrow::BuildInfo and arrow::GetBuildInfo which
provides captures some information from the build that created the library.
Some of this we may want to add to R.
C++ library version -> Yes. Should be lockstep with the R version but couldn't
hurt and may not match during custom builds.
C++ SO version -> No. I don't know enough about this to know how it differs
from the library version and it seems it would be more confusing than helpful.
C++ compiler info -> Yes. The compiler ID and compiler flags should again be
pretty standard if obtained from CRAN but could be useful for custom builds.
C++ package kind -> No. This is useful in python where there is a distinction
(pypi vs conda) but I don't think it would have a meaningful value in R.
