What happens if you disable byte code compilation?

Hi Dirk,

so the project is open source, you can reproduce the error yourself (but note 
it’ll take a long time to actually compile it). steps for reproducing:
git clone https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun.git
cd shogun
git checkout feature/shared_ptr
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DINTERFACE_R=ON ..
make
make install

(it requires tons of dependencies… if you have docker you can docker pull 
shogun/shogun-dev and run things inside the container)

the make install part runs the R CMD INSTALL so that’ll cause the problem.

but i’ve just uploaded the generated R code that causes the problem here, note 
the script is 7Mb i.e. 175k LoC, so you better wget/curl it:

Easiest for us to help if we can see code -- so if you have a public repo
somewhere please the link.

I suspect you have some sort of recursion or circular dependency
somewhere. It would be very hard for R to run out of 50gb. But we cannot say
more.

So maybe triage. In a situation like this when a (supposedly complete)
package draft of mine fails "top-down" I often re-validate the toolchain
"bottom-up" with a minimal package. If that works, keep adding pieces step by
step from the 'not-working large package' to the 'small working' package
while continuously ensuring that it still builds.

Hope this helps, Dirk
