Can't compile with GCC 15.2.1 20260209

[virginiakheinen]

I'm on Arch Linux 6.12.69-1-lts, R version 4.5.2. Later fails to compile with the latest release of GCC (15.2.1 20260209) installed:

> install.packages("~/Builds/later_1.4.6.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

It also fails when installing from from CRAN (and it failed when CRAN had 1.4.5 too).

I downgraded to GCC 15.2.1 20260103, and then it compiled just fine. Probably not a huge impact for most people, but wanted to point it out!

[vonGameTheory]

Same. Can't compile.

Thank you very much for your help

[shikokuchuo]

This is for an unreleased development version of GCC that Arch uses on a rolling basis. The latest GCC release is 15.2.0.

Thanks for noting that this is not due to any changes on our end (later 1.4.5 suffers from the same problem). This is purely as you're trying to compile the package using the new build tools.

Whilst we see how this plays out, there are 2 solutions for now:

1. Just not upgrade later - there are no bug fixes in 1.4.6
2. Use the manylinux binaries that Posit provides:
   https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest/bin/linux/manylinux_2_28-x86_64/4.5/src/contrib/later_1.4.6.tar.gz
   https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest/bin/linux/manylinux_2_28-arm64/4.5/src/contrib/later_1.4.6.tar.gz

Thanks again for the reports - we're monitoring this.

I think this is rather caused by glibc 2.43. I, gentoo, it has 2.42 and it compile. /usr/include/pthread.h is provided by glibc.
In archlinux, glibc version is 2.43 and it fail.

[shikokuchuo]

Turns out it's both: glibc 2.43 added once_flag to <stdlib.h> for C23 compliance, and GCC 15 defaults to -std=gnu23.

There's a PR to fix this now at #257, which I'm going to merge.

Installing the dev version should then work:

pak::pak("r-lib/later")

I'll try to get a patch release out to CRAN as soon as feasible.

New CRAN version 1.4.7 still doesn't compile:

Installing from github (with remotes::install_github('r-lib/later') also fails while it worked sometime ago.

The fix in 1.4.7 was technically correct, but unfortunately it unveiled another error that lay hidden all the time. I'm going to merge a PR to fix this.

Will be great if @fvalenduc @vonGameTheory can confirm installing dev later now works:

pak::pak("r-lib/later")

Thanks!

I get this:

pak::pak("r-lib/later")

→ Will update 1 package.
→ Will download 1 package with unknown size.
