Failing CRAN check on r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang

[glin]

Tests currently fail on CRAN for one platform, r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_reactable.html

checking tests ... [12s/58s] ERROR
Running ‘testthat.R’ [12s/57s]
Running the tests in ‘tests/testthat.R’ failed.
Complete output:

free(): double free detected in tcache 2

The original failure was in version 0.4.0, where the Fedora tests failed due to a bug with the V8 system package in Fedora 36 and below, which CRAN uses. This was fixed in the 0.4.1 submission (029e6c3) - worked around by trying to detect that V8 bug and skip related tests. That fixed the fedora-gcc test failure, but unfortunately, fedora-clang started failing from a new issue that I just have no idea about.

It's hard to test because the R-hub fedora-clang image is on an older version of Fedora (33) than CRAN (36), where the V8 R package doesn't even install. I may end up skipping these tests on CRAN completely. Sorry if you've received this message from CRAN,

We have asked for an update fixing the check problems shown at
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_reactable.html
with no update from the maintainer thus far.

Thus, package reactable is now scheduled for archival on 2023-01-20,
and archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong
reverse dependencies.

Now hopefully fixed in 9c067a5, and submitted to CRAN as v0.4.3

Now fixed with the 0.4.3 release, and CRAN checks are now passing: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_reactable.html
