Support for `r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang` with clang version 21
Hi,
CRAN currently uses clang/flang version 21.1.0 for check r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang; see https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html.
Could rhub provide support for R package checking for that configuration also please?
Thanks in advance for your response!
Kind regards,
Tony
Do you have a package failure that you cannot reproduce with the current image?
Yes: broadcast (https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_broadcast.html) only fails for r-devel fedora clang
The package only fails for clang v21.1.0 used with fedora, apparently due to somekind of behaviour or bug specific to clang v21.1.0. So if rhub could support clang/flang version 21.1.0 for check r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang, that would be really nice.
The compiler crashes, so I suspect that this is a compiler bug. Or some timeout that CRAN set up, if that's possible. In any case, they don't use Fedora's clang, but build clang themselves, and I guess that even with clang 21, you won't be able to reproduce that.

maybe refers to a CPU time limit in limits.conf?
