I had a bug once only arising in Solaris SPARC. I found a forgotten storage room in the university packed with old stuff, and rescued a dusty Sun SPARC server. A professor allowed me to attach it in the department's server room and, surprisingly enough, it worked except for a fan. Then I installed all the stuff needed with great pain, and finally found and solved the bug. In fact, it was in Rcpp. So go figure, I was very sad when the SPARC machine on CRAN died. But I digress. Now there's just the x86 Solaris machine, so you can test this in a virtual machine, using e.g. VirtualBox. Or you can try the Solaris box on rhub: https://builder.r-hub.io/advanced Iñaki _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
