Why devtools::document fails with unclear C++ error message?

I have a vignette that I can build using devtools::build_vignettes() but when I try to build the source package (RStudio/Build/build source package) it fails when executing devtools::document(roclets=c('rd', 'collate', 'namespace', 'vignette')) with the following error message:

R(32119,0x7fff7437f000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff74dc0c30: pointer being freed was not allocated

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug



Exited with status 6.

This package uses Rcpp but I am definitely not an expert in Cpp and don't understand at all what is going on. I can use the package locally with no troubles.

Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example? Does the error happen when you call devtools::document() directly with different roclets?

The error does not happen when I call the exacte same command from the Rstudio console

– clemlaflemme
Nov 22 '18 at 18:50

Also the command devtools::build() works from the RStudio console

Weird, but impossible to debug without a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. Make a copy of the project and remove stuff from it until you cannot remove anything without also removing this error message.

Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example? Does the error happen when you call devtools::document() directly with different roclets?

The error does not happen when I call the exacte same command from the Rstudio console

– clemlaflemme

Also the command devtools::build() works from the RStudio console

Weird, but impossible to debug without a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. Make a copy of the project and remove stuff from it until you cannot remove anything without also removing this error message.
