Jeroen created ARROW-9616:
-----------------------------

             Summary: [C++] Support LTO for R
                 Key: ARROW-9616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9616
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++, R
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Jeroen


The next version of R might enable LTO on Windows, i.e. R packages will be compiled with {{-flto}} by default. This works out of the box for most packages, but for arrow, the linker crashes as below.

 Please submit a full bug report,
 with preprocessed source if appropriate.
 See <[https://github.com/r-windows]> for instructions.

{code}

You can easily produce this for example like this:

{code:r}
dir.create("~/.R")
writeLines("CXXFLAGS=-flto", file = "~/.R/Makevars")
install.packages("arrow", type = 'source')
{code}

I am not sure if this is a bug in the toolchain, or in arrow. I tried with both gcc-8.3.0 and gcc-9.3.0, and the result is the same. I did find [this issue|https://github.com/cycfi/elements/pull/56] in another project which suggests to enable `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` in cmake.
