[Rcpp-devel] Internal Compiler Error building Rcpp with gcc 4.0 at line ../inst/include/Rcpp/internal/export.h:56

[Matthew O'Meara]

Hi Rcpp developers,

I'm running into an "Internal Compiler Error" when I try to build Rcpp.
Unfortunately my template ninja skills up to the task of trying to find a
work around for what I think is a gcc bug.  But as gcc 4.0 is still quite
common, it may worth trying to come up with one.  I will be happy to try out
any candidate fixes.

Thanks for making great software!

Best,
Matt

The line pointed to in Rcpp/inst/include/Rcpp/internal/export.h is here:

        template <typename InputIterator, typename value_type>
        void export_range__dispatch( SEXP x, InputIterator first,
