Dear R developers,
I've got an information from Prof. Ripley regarding a bug found with
AddressSanitizer in one of our packages. It is now fixed, thank you for
this information.
Now, I would like to run AddressSanitizer myself before submitting the
patched package to CRAN.
Is there a recommendation of a suitable Linux distribution with gcc 4.8,
ideally an ISO image or (even better) a virtual appliance for VMware or
VirtalBox? My Debian Wheezy machines have only 4.7.2.
Thank you
Thomas Petzoldt
gcc 4.8.0 has only been released for 4 weeks, so I doubt any released
distro has it. Fedora Rawhide (19-to-be) has it, and so I am told does
Debian experimental.
I compiled gcc myself from the sources, but my sysadmins offered to make
a Rawhide virtual machine or live DVD for me.
For those who do not know what AddressSanitizer is, see
