[Rd] Strange "no-echo" in place of "slave"
SVN revision replaces "slave" with "no-echo" in R devel. In each of the following, "no-echo" is rather strange to me. - src/gnuwin32/README.Rterm 3) As a no-echo process for ESS mode in NTEmacs with flag --ess. - src/library/grDevices/src/qdCocoa.m /* the no-echo thread work until this is NO */
As far as I know, not being involved with the effort at all, they are removing the term 'slave' and replacing it with 'no-echo' which is intended to be fully synonmyous with the meaning of the old 'slave' term. ~G On Sun, Oct 6, 2019 at 10:56 PM suharto_anggono--- via R-devel < r-devel at r-project.org> wrote:> SVN revision replaces "slave" with "no-echo" in R devel. > > > In each of the following, "no-echo" is rather strange to me. > > - src/gnuwin32/README.Rterm > 3) As a no-echo process for ESS mode in NTEmacs with flag --ess. > > - src/library/grDevices/src/qdCocoa.m > /* the no-echo thread work until this is NO */ > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel >[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
The first of Suharno's examples can be viewed that way, because R under ESS is not a "slave" in the technical sense, just a situation where you do not want keyboard input to be echoed. "Non-echoing" might have been better language though. The 2nd example really is of the master/slave variety, and to my knowledge nothing to do with echoing, so looks like a search-and-replace oversight. Presumably, "worker thread" (or thereabouts) would be a better replacement. -pd> On 6 Oct 2019, at 14:00 , Gabriel Becker <gabembecker at gmail.com> wrote: > > As far as I know, not being involved with the effort at all, they are > removing the term 'slave' and replacing it with 'no-echo' which is intended > to be fully synonmyous with the meaning of the old 'slave' term. > > ~G > > On Sun, Oct 6, 2019 at 10:56 PM suharto_anggono--- via R-devel < > r-devel at r-project.org> wrote: > >> SVN revision replaces "slave" with "no-echo" in R devel. >> >> >> In each of the following, "no-echo" is rather strange to me. >> >> - src/gnuwin32/README.Rterm >> 3) As a no-echo process for ESS mode in NTEmacs with flag --ess. >> >> - src/library/grDevices/src/qdCocoa.m >> /* the no-echo thread work until this is NO */ >> >> ______________________________________________ >> R-devel at r-project.org mailing list >> https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel >> > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel-- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
