Or is this a bug in Boost, and I should open an issue with their upstream instead?

[vjcitn]

This seems to be a pretty complicated situation. You can see where in the sources this starts out:

https://code.bioconductor.org/search/search?q=ipcmutex

So c++11 is generating code that is creating a problem related to BH, and xcrun is throwing a warning.

You have seen the caveats about macports at https://mac.r-project.org/tools/ ? As you may recall we do not have a PPC platform for reproduction of the problem. In the past you've mentioned qemu. I personally don't have bandwidth right now to address this but if you provide more details on how this might be reproduced on a standard linux box with emulation someone might be able to take a look.

@vjcitn Thank you for responding! To be honest, I do not think this is something arch-specific. It seems that the code specifies types incorrectly (in a sense of making an assumption which may not hold in some cases) or drops a cast where it is needed. GCC complains about conflicting types, judging from the error, and cannot use a template.

(Xcrun ”error” is superficial and unrelated: just R uses unsupported syntax, trying to pass a flag which it does not accept. I never bothered to fix that, since it affects nothing, the message is supposed to be informational, but I know which SDK I use and where it is located. On a side note, Xcrun should just be avoided regardless, IMO, it either does nothing or breaks stuff.)

[barracuda156]

@vjcitn It is definitely Boost interprocess bug, compilation fails on the code introduced in boostorg/interprocess@94bc4e1 – I just need to see if that has been fixed since then or still broken.

Upd. Too tired now to diff the code, but looks like all relevant changes are in 1.87, and this is what R-BH has, so nothing is fixed.
