[Rcpp-devel] C++11 in Windows R package

[John Buonagurio]

Dirk and Matteo,

This is a MinGW issue, which as far as I can tell is undocumented.

When CXX_STD=CXX11 is added to Makevars.win, R ultimately translates this to "-std=c++0x" in the g++ command (via CXX1XSTD in Makeconf). For some reason, MinGW then #undefs WIN32. This doesn't happen using use "-std=gnu++0x"

You can work around this by checking for _WIN32 instead of WIN32, or just add another define:

#ifdef _WIN32
#define WIN32
#endif

But, as you saw even with this fixed, Armadillo still has issues with the Rtools GCC...

Best,
John
