Re: [Rd] Error generated by .Internal(nchar) disappears when debugging

I can reproduce the problem by running R-3.2.0 (on Windows), installing copula from CRAN, and then using it: > install.packages("copula") Installing package into 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.0/site-library' (as 'lib' is unspecified) also installing the dependencies 'gsl', 'ADGofTest', 'pspline' Warn

Doesn't the byte-compiler inline calls like nchar() to call the .Internal directly for certain optimization levels? If the 'internal' signature changed in a point release, I'd expect an issue like the below. (I'm pretty sure CRAN packages are byte-compiled at build-time, but don't use Windows

Simply advice: The former co-author contributed, so he is still author and probably copyright holder and has to be listed among the authors, otherwise it would be a CRAN policy violation since even if he does not develop further on, he developed parts of the so far existing package (if you ta

Dear R developers, This is a rather peculiar question, but nevertheless I would still need an answer for. It is about an R package which I created (namely QCA), and from versions 1.0-0 to 1.1-4 I had a co-author. The co-author recently withdrawn from the package development, but still requires to
