Hello,

I submitted a package to CRAN that passed all checks in RStudio but failed when it was tested on Solaris (after it was on CRAN). Now I need to correct the error and resubmit to CRAN. I would like to avoid using CRAN as a debugging tool. Is there a way to check packages on Solaris? I am using Windows 10.

The packages checks are here https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_BiProbitPartial.html

An excerpt of the error is below

BiProbitPartialMCMC.cpp:424:49: error: call of overloaded ‘log(bool)’ is 
ambiguous
          double SupportRatio = log(abs(rhoStar)<1) - log(abs(rho)<1);
                                                  ^

There is a similar error for the second log function. It seems I can simply fix it with an if/else statement, but I would like to check it before submitting back to CRAN.
It does not respond to your question about Solaris but I am just curios about the logic behind this line of code. Do you really mean to calculate a log() of Boolean variable with a result -Inf (for false) and 0 (for true)? Or is it a typo and you meant (log(abs(rhoStar)) < 1)? Then what would be the meaning of a difference between two booleans? Can it really be a "SupportRatio" with only three possible values: -1, 0 and 1?

You can just ignore all these questions if you cannot afford spare time.

Best,
Serguei.
