My brms was working well but suddenly when I try to fit a model it gives me an error saying:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!
cc1plus.exe: out of memory allocating 65536 bytes

Apparently, compilation of your model requires too much memory. did you try to fit the model in a fresh R session with other programs closed?

Thanks, @paul.buerkner. I have a brmsfit object that took hours to finish and I was hesitating to restart the session but it seems I have to. Therefore, I will try closing everything and see what happens. Also, just found this solution

adding -flto -ffat-lto-objects to PKG_CPPFLAGS in src/Makevars.win

to a similar problem, so I will also try to implement this solution proposed by @bgoodri and see if I get this problem solved. Otherwise, I will let you know.

Restarting the session was enough to get rid of the error.
Thanks, @paul.buerkner for your great help.
