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

[Martyn Plummer]

Thanks John. I learned something new today. It is probably worth mentioning this in the manual.

Hi John,

| 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"

|
| #ifdef _WIN32
| #define WIN32
| #endif

Nice work. That is very, very good.  I had gone to my default page over at

    http://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Home/

(which is an excellent resource for these things) and got a reminder that the
"official" one is indeed _WIN32 (with underscore).   However, R internally
uses WIN32 so I picked that too.

Your suggestion will provide a fallback.

That's the well-know problem with the toolchain we have imposed on us.  We'll
have to see how we can adjust.   At least it is gcc/g++ 4.6.* and not 4.2.*
as it was on Windows for many years (and still is on older OS X machines).
