[Rd] Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: Crash with Unicode and sub (PR#14126)
I take that back anyway. I have now managed to reliably crash R 2.10.0 and R version 2.10.1 RC (2009-12-06 r50684) on Windows without using the sub function. The following code does it: -- cut here -- u <- intToUtf8(c(rep(1e3,1e2),32,c(rep(1e3,1e2)))) v <- rep(u,1e2) w <- paste(substring(v,1,100),substring(v,102),sep = "") gctorture() match(w,"") -- cut here -- George Russell | KG EOS Holding GmbH & Co Tel: +49 40 2850 – 1574 | g.russell@eos-solutions.com EOS.
