I'm trying to compile and use the following code (which I have seen on SO):
// [[Rcpp::depends(BH)]]
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp>
namespace mp = boost::multiprecision;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
std::string mexp(double mx)
{
mp::float128 x(mx);
mp::float128 res = mp::exp(x);
return res.convert_to<std::string>();
}
Before compiling, I have to do Sys.setenv("PKG_LIBS" = "-lquadmath")
otherwise the compilation does not work.
Then the compilation runs fine, but when I type mexp(1)
in R, the R session totally crashes. Am I missing something ? The session crashes in RStudio as well as in the classical R gui.
PS: I am under Windows and I get the crash with R-3.3.3 as well as R-3.4.1.
Edit:
Just tried on Linux with R-3.4.1 and this works fine. I even don't need to do Sys.setenv("PKG_LIBS" = "-lquadmath")
.
