Hi I have committed the suggested "extern" patch.
Could you please confirm that this fixes the issue on Solaris (and anything else you can test) ?
Thanks! Paul On 16/02/18 03:39, dmitrii.pasech...@maths.ox.ac.uk wrote:
Dear all, in src/include/GraphicsBase.h one has a declaration int baseRegisterIndex; the same as in src/main/devices.c which causes problems on Solaris, see bug #17385, and other platforms with "unusual" linkers, see bug #16633. By right, global variables like baseRegisterIndex are to be declared just once, and not in a header file, but in a *.c file. Then, to use them elsewhere in the code, one declares them as extern in the header. (as proposed on #17385) Otherwise one has an undefined behaviour, some linkers might silently prepend extern, some not... May I humbly request attention to this bug (which is classified as UNCONFIRNMED---and indeed it needs an extra effort to reproduce the error on, say, Linux --- but it really is an obvious C bug, which will rear its ugly head sooner or later again) Thanks, Dmitrii ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
