[Rcpp-devel] Package Submission Barred by Pedantic

[Qiang Kou]

Hi, Nicholas,

First, what you reported is a known issue from boost [1], not Rcpp.

Second, this issue has been fixed in boost 1.69 [2] and the bh package
still uses 1.66.

Third, this warning won't block your submission to CRAN [3] [4].

I hope I answered your question.

Best wishes,

KK
