[Rcpp-devel] RcppParallel on Solaris

[JJ Allaire]

We've recently done some work on RcppParallel to make it work on
Windows (previously it worked on Linux and OS X only). It would be
wonderful to also get it working on Solaris, and in theory this
shouldn't be difficult as the library at the core of RcppParallel,
Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB), has full support for both Sun
and GCC compilers on Solaris

This branch does what I think is necessary:

https://github.com/RcppCore/RcppParallel/tree/feature/tbb-solaris

Unfortunately none of my attempts to setup a working Solaris
development environment have succeeded so I have no way of testing
this. I'm writing to see if anyone on the list would be willing to
help with testing/tweaking on Solaris.

More background on RcppParallel is here: http://rcppcore.github.io/RcppParallel/

Thanks,
