[Rcpp-devel] gcc 10 error: symbol `fun' is already defined

[Kevin Ushey]

Here's an example program that fails to compile with gcc-10 for me:

https://gist.github.com/kevinushey/cfa848be2d39ddd110f893d9b6c5ac9c

So I think we can conclude this is a gcc-10 bug. It also fails with
the contracts branch of gcc on godbolt (although with a different
error):

https://godbolt.org/z/dowsE5

But gcc trunk seems okay.

Best,
Kevin
