[Rd] Memory leak during instantiation of a reference class?
Hi,
I have a problem with a large data set wrapped in a reference class. I do that
to access the data by reference from within various functions in a script.
# The class definition:
setRefClass("data",
fields = list(h5_df = "list",
training_data = "array",
true_class = "vector"));
# The class instantiation:
data_1 <- new("data",
h5_df = as.list(h5_df),
training_data = training_data,
true_class = true_class);
The objects assigned to the "data" fields during instantiation:
Browse[1]> str(training_data)
num [1:501, 1:62, 1:579] -10.4 -11.3 -12.1 -12.8 -13.3 ...
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 3
..$ : NULL
..$ : NULL
..$ : NULL
Browse[1]> str(true_class)
num [1:1002] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
Browse[1]> str(h5_df)

The computer system that runs this code is has a 64-bit CPU and 12 GiB RAM.
It seems that there is a memory leak somewhere. Any suggestions on how to solve
this problem?
