None of the posted queries seem to have a solution, one person said restarting RStudio helped, but not in my case. The SO question I found was marked as deleted. The GitHub issue I found was "I solved it" but no mention of how. The SO question was asking about svg export: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68345118/exporting-a-ggplot-in-svg-call-a-non-esixting-function" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68345118/exporting-a-ggplot-in-svg-call-a-non-esixting-function</a><br>

Packages following a the GNU style often have a file ChangeLog which "details<br>
changes made to the code". Rcpp follows this convention, see 2021-07-05 and<br>
2021-01-017.<br>
<br>
Packages following the R packaging conventions often have a file inst/NEWS.rd<br>
(also rendered as NEWS at CRAN). Rcpp follow this conventions, see the Rcpp<br>
1.0.7 release (even if the functions is not named).<br>
<br>
Packages have source code you can search.I like `ag` aka "the<br>
silversearcher":<br>
<br>
edd@rob:~/git/rcpp(master)$ ag -c Rcpp_precious_remove<br>
ChangeLog:2<br>
inst/include/Rcpp/routines.h:3<br>
inst/include/RcppCommon.h:2<br>
src/rcpp_init.cpp:1<br>
src/barrier.cpp:1<br>
edd@rob:~/git/rcpp(master)$ <br>
<br>
It is still there, and available via the standard export mechanism.<br>
<br>
I recommend your friend take a look. The function is a) still there yet has<br>
also b) been supplanted by a more sufficient alternative.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, a reproducible example would be the only way to make this<br>
concrete.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps, Dirk<br>
