Dear all,

I am in the process of preparing a R-package that uses Fortran subroutines,
and upon R CMD check (both local and on win-builder), I receive the
following Note:

File 'Siccuracy/libs/i386/Siccuracy.dll':
   Found '_gfortran_st_write', possibly from 'write' (Fortran), 'print'
     (Fortran)
     Objects: 'converters.o', 'mutate_chips.o', 'plink.o'


I use the write command in two ways: 1) writing to a file, and 2)
convert a numeric value to a string.

For 1), it is the usual 'write(unit=int, fmt) vars'.

For 2), the 'write(nChar,*) ncol' is required for integer 'ncol' and
character 'nChar'.


These instances are the only occurrences of 'write' and 'print'. Can I
ignore this Note?


I suspect not. The Writing R Extensions manual describes the problem: Fortran I/O initialization can interfere with the C I/O used by R.

This won't happen on all platforms, so it's really difficult for you to be sure your uses are safe.

The recommended way to handle this is to do all the I/O in R or C code.
