R 4.3.0 for windows Generic_Debug and <CPU optimized>_NoDebug Versions of Debug/Optimized for C, C++, and Fortran on 64 bit Windows
This repository builds modified clones (think of Star Wars Clonetroopers) of the Old Non-Official-Version/Patched-snapshot/Build-of-the-development (NOPB) version of R
https://github.com/r-windows/r-base
Changes in this repository https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base include different build options
- debugging flags
- optimization flags and/or possibly OpenBlas
Two exist: Generic_Debug and <CPU optimized>_NoDebug.
The Debug version Generic_Debug contains R language debugging symbols. E.g. if the debug target is Rterm.exe and the package DLL has been loaded, then when debugging the package DLL, the symbols Rf_error and Rf_PrintValue are available.
See the video:
Using gdb to debug R packages with native code
userprimary
The CPU Optimized version <CPU optimized>_NoDebug is built using custom optimization gcc/gfortran flag(s) available in Rtools.
Debugging symbols are not included.
One may not be aware of a new release/point_release of R. E.g. a point release is like the following: 4.2.x or 4.3.y. If so, inform one about it. Email to [email protected]. One then should then run the AppVeyor build to create the new release/point_releases.
If one may want the non-official version of R for windows, then one may go to any one of here (R 4.2.1 and earlier - unofficial): https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ or (official) https://github.com/r-windows/r-base/releases .
If one may want the non-official patched snapshot build of R for windows, then one may go here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html or here: https://nightly.link/r-windows/r-base/workflows/full-build/master (choose r-patched).
If one may want the non-offical build of the development version (which will eventually become the next major release) of R for windows, then one may go here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html or here: https://nightly.link/r-windows/r-base/workflows/full-build/master (choose r-devel).
From the NOPB version of R for windows in the repository https://github.com/r-windows/r-base (R 4.2.1 and earlier) compared to this repository https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base differences (in here) follow.

In the NOPB version of R, the version nick name is set in the R mirror
file https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/VERSION-NICK.
In the
file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh
added (appended to) the

contents, are the messages $MARCHMTUNENAME and $DIST_BUILD

Because, of the various custom debug/optimization runs of these AppVeyor build-jobs in the github R mirror file https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/gnuwin32/MkRules.rules in the NOPB version of R the variable EOPTS
EOPTS ?= -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -mstackrealign
is set (if the value does not already exist in the
file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/MkRules.local.in).
However, in the
file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh
to the
file https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/gnuwin32/MkRules.rules
adding to (appended to) and using the previous EOPTS value, if any, is the $MARCHMTUNE value
if ! test "0" = "`grep -c -e "^\s*EOPTS\s*?\?+\?=\s*" ${srcdir}/R-source/src/gnuwin32/MkRules.rules`"

In the file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh to make some matrix operations faster, OpenBLAS may be included.
if ! test "0" = `echo $BUILDFLAGS | grep -c -e "\bUSE_ATLAS=YES\b"`
then
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-{i686,x86_64}-openblas
fi
In the file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh the ATLAS flags are begin replaced by the OpenBLAS flag.
if ! test "0" = "`grep -c -e "-lf77blas -latlas\b" ${srcdir}/R-source/src/extra/blas/Makefile.win`"

In the file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh changed, is from
make distribution
to
make distribution $BUILDFLAGS
meaning (for example could be) make distribution DEBUG=T or make distribution
The checks are not performed. These tests would/may cause any Appveyor build-job to use
over one hour of allowed Appveyor build-job allowed time. In the
file https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/blob/master/build.sh
make check-all is not performed (and not written in build.sh).

Located near the top of the
page https://github.com/AndreMikulec/r-base/releases
one may get deployments from one of the top (recent) build-jobs.
The naming format is the following.
r-base_<appveyor build iteration>_<master repository>_<version>_<DEPLOYNAME>
- version is patched or devel or the version number
- DEPLOYNAME describes the build: debug xor optimization
