<br>
That may be a little tricky for a few reasons:<br>
<br>
i) We just released Rcpp 0.12.2. I spend a considerable amount of time<br>
testing prior to a release. This time we had three full reverse<br>
dependency checks totalling over 1500 builds given the 500+ revdeps.<br>
Any such issue would have stopped us.<br>
<br>
ii) AFAIK Carlos wrote guitar years ago yet he never pushed it to CRAN. We<br>
made changes to Rcpp Modules during this time, we also made changes to<br>
how exception escalate (different OS drive this...). Because this<br>
package only ever stayed on GitHub this did not get tested. Else we<br>
would have known sooner.<br>
<br>
iii) Rcpp Modules is a clever trick that is rather useful. Sadly, it is not<br>
that well documented and its principal creator has moved on too so the<br>
code is not exactly actively maintained.<br>
<br>
So here we need a volunteers to dive it this and debug, maybe bisect with<br>
older Rcpp releases, ...<br>
<br>
It looks like this won't be Carlos, and it probably won't be me either.<br>
