Greetings, I am collaborating with developing the bigmemory package and have run in to a strange problem when we run R CMD CHECK. For some reason that isn't clear to us one of the examples crashes stating:
Error: memory could not be allocated for instance of type big.matrix You can see the output on the Travis CI page at https://travis-ci.org/kaneplusplus/bigmemory where the error starts at line 1035. This is completely reproducible when running devtools::check(args='--as-cran') locally. The part that is confusing is that the calls work perfectly when called interactively. Hadley comments on the 'check' page of his R packages website ( http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/check.html) regarding test failing following R CMD check: Occasionally you may have a problem where the tests pass when run interactively with devtools::test(), but fail when in R CMD check. This usually indicates that you’ve made a faulty assumption about the testing environment, and it’s often hard to figure it out. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this problem? I have no idea what assumption we could have made.
