  • Is it safe to use the error handling features of C++ with Rcpp?
    1 project | /r/rstats | 28 Jan 2023
    If you use these error handling features, it does leave things in memory. I believe it’s only for objects you have allocated from c++, so may not be a big deal. For example, here’s where I noticed it in readr, which is presumably fixed now that they use rcpp11 https://github.com/tidyverse/readr/issues/757

  • How can I get regexpr to recognize emojis?
    2 projects | /r/Rlanguage | 13 Nov 2022
    Unfortunately I think this may be at the root of it. I added these links (here & here) to another comment that touch on an old issue with emojis/utf8/windows10. There is also an emojifont package, which may or may not be helpful. Good luck!
