A recent R devel NEWS item: approx(), spline(), splinefun() and approxfun() also
work for long vectors.
In current R devel, in function 'approx1' in
src/library/stats/src/approx.c and in function 'spline_eval' in
src/library/stats/splines.c, in
#ifdef LONG_VECTOR_SUPPORT
there is a comment "R_xlen_t is double". It is incorrect. In
Rinternals.h, in
#ifdef LONG_VECTOR_SUPPORT
R_xlen_t is defined as ptrdiff_t , an integer type.
In function 'approx1' in src/library/stats/src/approx.c,
R_xlen_t ij = (i+j) / 2;
can be used unconditionally.
In function 'spline_eval' in src/library/stats/src/splines.c,
R_xlen_t k = (i+j) / 2;
can be used unconditionally.
