We finally figured out why our binaries were failing to build on OS/X,
after more than a year of misery.
We use C++ exceptions and try/catch blocks like this,
try {
// stuff here
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
This works great with gcc, but whatever version of clang used by CRAN
doesn't like this code. The exception is not caught. So, instead, we have
to write
try {
// stuff here
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
// gcc gets here
} catch (...) {
// clang gets here
which works on both compilers. I don't know why clang skips the first
catch clause.
