I received some questions this week about rtools4 (the windows
compiler bundle) in particular regarding support for ucrt, so below a
brief summary of the status quo:
As of May 2021, rtools4 has full support for ucrt. The toolchain
configuration is based on the upstream msys2
Thanks Martin. I'd missed the intention of that option, but re-reading
it now it is obvious.
FWIW, this problem is quite nasty, and so far I've found no method
that reveals the underlying dangers well. And one of the issues with
nonlinear models is that they reveal how slippery the concept of
In our work on a Google Summer of Code project "Improvements to nls()",
the code has proved sufficiently entangled that we have found (so far!)
few straightforward changes that would not break legacy behaviour. One
issue that might be fixable is that nls() returns no result if it
encounters some
