Hi, I am writing C++ functions that are to be called via .Call() interface. I'd been using error() (from R.h) to return to R if there is an error, but then I realized that this might be not safe as supposedly error() doesn't throw an exception and therefore some destructors do not get called and some memory may leak. Here is a simple example extern "C" void foo() { string

We are trying to compile and run the ttest.c example that comes with R (in C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library\windlgs\src\ttest.c). After compiling it with MS Visual C++ we load the DLL with dyn.load. So far it seems good, but when we try to call it from R (after running C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library\windlgs\R\windlgs.R) R crashes. We have tried changing the exports from DLL but have

I have been lurking in this list a while and searching in the archives to find out how one learns to write fast R code. One solution seems to be to write part of the code not in R but in C. However after finding a benchmark article (http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm) I have been more interested in making the R code itself more efficient. I would like to find more info about this. I have

...there already exists an R function that solves the problem at hand. Instead of writing your own function, search the help files [apropos(), help.search()]. What I some times find difficult though, is guessing what key words will produce relevant search hits...

I have no solution. However I wonder why the mail archives at https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/ are not searchable by Google. That would perhaps be a solution otherwise, since you can restrict Google to search within just one site. (This applies to some other search engines too.) Since I am also interested in the possibility to search the archive I have just sent a question to
