[Rd] Request for help with UBSAN and total absense of CRAN response

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

CRAN has a package of mine in upload limbo because it failed UBSAN.

I am not entirely ignorant on the topic of sanitizers and SAN / ASAN / UBSAN;
we created not one but two Docker containers with ASAN and USBAN:

   https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/rocker/r-devel-san/
   https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/rocker/r-devel-ubsan-clang/

as well as predecessors to them in earlier Docker repos.

Yet I fail to recreate the errors reported by CRAN:

   
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/memtests/UBSAN-clang-trunk/RcppAnnoy/tests/runUnitTests.Rout
   
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/memtests/UBSAN/RcppAnnoy/tests/runUnitTests.Rout

I asked politely (and twice) for help with the corresponding compiler
configuration(s).  But CRAN is of course way above communicating with mere
mortals such as yours truly.

So I have no recourse other than to spam all of you: if anybody here has a
working UBSAN setup which can replicate the issue seen in the (rather small)
RcppAnnoy package?

Erik (upstream for Annoy, CC'ed) and I would be most grateful.  We do not
like being held hostage on an error report we cannot replicate and for which
we do not receive any help (or even further communication) whatsoever.

Hello, Dirk.

I have no experience with UBSAN etc., but as you mention not being
able to recreate the CRAN errors, it reminds me of the time I had
trouble getting my pacakge approved for CRAN as it passed all tets but
Win32, and I have a Win64 setup and could not test it. Have you tried
submitting the package to
 and seeing if the CRAN
errors get created there, or is the problem CRAN shows on platforms
other than Windows?

Where should the package source be downloaded from? I see it in CRAN (but 
presumably the latest version that causes the issue is not yet downloadable) 
and in github.

The "presumable" assumption is incorrect AFAIK. 

The error should presumably came up in both versions as annoylib.h did not
change there.  Feel free to prove me wrong :) and just use whatever is easiest.
