Those I do find seem quite recent (stackoverflow questions or GitHub issues logged in various projects, dates of posting are within the last few days). None of the posted queries seem to have a solution, one person said restarting RStudio helped, but not in my case. The SO question I found was marked as deleted. The GitHub issue I found was "I solved it" but no mention of how.

Packages following a the GNU style often have a file ChangeLog which "details changes made to the code". Rcpp follows this convention, see 2021-07-05 and 2021-01-017. Packages following the R packaging conventions often have a file inst/NEWS.rd (also rendered as NEWS at CRAN). Rcpp follow this conventions, see the Rcpp 1.0.7 release (even if the functions is not named). Packages have source code you can search.I like `ag` aka "the silversearcher": edd@rob:~/git/rcpp(master)$ ag -c Rcpp_precious_remove ChangeLog:2 inst/include/Rcpp/routines.h:3 inst/include/RcppCommon.h:2 src/rcpp_init.cpp:1 src/barrier.cpp:1 edd@rob:~/git/rcpp(master)$ It is still there, and available via the standard export mechanism. I recommend your friend take a look. The function is a) still there yet has also b) been supplanted by a more sufficient alternative. Otherwise, a reproducible example would be the only way to make this concrete.
