[Rcpp-devel] Using Rcpp with C++11 and clang

[Michael Braun]

Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility among clang, libc++ and Rcpp? Consider this super-simple example (filename is  tr1.cpp):

#include <Rcpp.h>
RcppExport SEXP testtr1() {
  return(Rcpp::wrap(0));
}

If I compile it as a dynamic library with clang, I get:

clang -O3  -m64 -msse4.2 -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Headers -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/Rcpp/include   -c tr1.cpp -o tr1.o 

In file included from tr1.cpp:1:
In file included from /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/Rcpp/include/Rcpp.h:27:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/Rcpp/include/RcppCommon.h:143:10: fatal error: 'tr1/unordered_map' file not found
#include <tr1/unordered_map>
         ^
1 error generated.

This works fine with the Intel compiler, as well as with gcc version 4.6.1.

Looking at RcppCommon.h, I see that there are a number of checks, including the definition of HAS_TR!_UNORDERED_MAP.   Is it possible that this code defines this macro for clang, when it shouldn't?

The version of clang I am using is:

Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.1.0
Thread model: posix

Rcpp is version 0.9.13.  My OS is Mac OSX 10.8.1, and I have installed XCode 4.4.1, with the latest command line tools.

I see that this issue has been brought up in the past, but I have not been able to find a resolution.  Since clang appears to be Apple's preferred compiler in XCode, I thought you might like to know about this, and perhaps let me know if I have made some kind of mistake.

Thanks,
