The problem is that there's no way to declare that an internal function
should or shouldn't be treated as an S3 method, other than by declaring
it as one in NAMESPACE and exporting it. If you read the thread
"Unfortunate function name generic.something" that started last week,
you'll see the

Hello,
I'm the mainter of the package *MatchIt*, which uses *Rcpp* to implement
nearest neighbor matching. One way to customize nearest neighbor
matching is to add a caliper, which is the largest distance two units can
be from each other before they are not allowed to be matched. I've had some
Dirk,
I'm curious why you chose to call cmake from make instead of from
configure. I've always seen cmake as part of the configure step of package
building.
Thanks,

I want to thank Bill and everyone that reached out to me individually. It
looks like Bill's solution is the right one, as he was able to replicate
and fix the problem. I am still a bit confused on why this would occur on
some OSs and not others (probably due to different compilers), but I think

Great question! Couple of small answers: i) This started as a 'proof of
I see the problem when I compile the C++ code on Ubuntu 20.04 and the
latest R-devel with
C++ compiler: ‘g++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0
If I change all the unadorned 'abs' calls in src/nn_matchC_vec.cpp with the
prefix 'std::' the problem goes away.

I think it would be quite useful to have some community repository of code
snippets dealing with such situations. R-exts gives advice and pieces of code
which are useful, but they are not complete solutions and situations like
Dirk's example are not that uncommon. (E.g., I recall some of the
