I'm seeing some issues using R Altrep classes when compiling a package
with the MSVC compiler on windows.
While CRAN doesn't build windows binaries with this compiler, some
packages such as Arrow and LightGBM have had some success in building
their R packages with MSVC outside of CRAN, in order to enable
functionalities that MinGW doesn't support.
Out of curiousity - which functionalities are those ?
One suggestion would be isolate MSVC-specific code in a library and then
build a package linking to that - this might turn out to be more portable.
thank you
