The following discussion is initiated by the bug report of RCall.jl Error C stack usage too close to the limit (when precompiling w Julia 1.2) · Issue #289 · JuliaInterop/RCall.jl · GitHub
saying that RCall.jl is not working on julia 1.1.
The simpliest reproducible result is the following code. Just copy this piece of code to julia REPL.
Rhome = readchomp(`R RHOME`)
ENV["R_HOME"] = Rhome
ENV["R_DOC_DIR"] = joinpath(Rhome,"doc")
ENV["R_INCLUDE_DIR"] = joinpath(Rhome,"include")
ENV["R_SHARE_DIR"] = joinpath(Rhome,"share")
const libR = Rhome * "/lib/libR.dylib" # mac
# const libR = Rhome * "/lib/libR.so" # linux
argv = ["REmbeddedJulia","--silent","--no-save"]
ccall((:Rf_initEmbeddedR,libR),Cint,(Cint,Ptr{Ptr{Cchar}}),length(argv),argv)
The above piece of code is working fine on julia 1.0 but not on julia 1.1, so it means that there is a change in julia which breaks this.
Interestingly enough, if one save the above code to a script file and run julia script.jl non-interactively, it will run without an error. It means the change of julia 1.1 which breaks RCall.jl is related to the REPL.
I would like to do a git bisect but I don’t want to do the buildings manually, is there any place for me to download the commit builds?
