`cpp_source()` fails if there are hyphens in the filename #248

Open paleolimbot opened 2 years ago

paleolimbot commented 2 years ago

I imagine this isn't the intended behaviour but also has a very easy workaround (don't use hyphens in a C++ source filename).

temp <- tempfile(fileext = "contains-hyphen.cpp")
write("
#include <cpp11.hpp>

[[cpp11::register]]
void some_function() {}      
", temp)

cpp11::cpp_source(temp)
