Since the contract of ls() is to sort, there is nothing wrong with programmers depending on it. And there are many functions that could be made 60X faster, but is it worth it? But I did notice that as.list.environment has a sorted=FALSE argument already, so I guess identical(names(x), names(as.list(x))) could be made to be TRUE, assuming the order is at least persistent, if undefined, so that is a

I think ls(, sort=FALSE) would be more explicit and thus clearer. There is much precedent for having arguments that request less work to be done e.g. unlist(use.names=FALSE). Yes, the extra typing is a bit painful, but there is no intuitive reason why names() would be unsorted, while ls() would be sorted. While it is tempting to use an existing function for this, the word "names" is

Thanks Winston! I'm amazed that "[[" beats calling the .Internal directly. I guess the difference between .Primitive vs. .Internal is pretty significant for things on this time scale. NULL meaning NULL and NULL meaning undefined would lead to the same path for much of my code. I'll be swapping out many exists and get calls later today. Thanks! I do still think it would be

I also just noticed that there is a bug: identical(ans, FALSE) should be is.null(ans). So no error is thrown: > methods:::genericForPrimitive("foo") NULL Will fix.

Hi all, Profiling turned up a bit of a speedbump in the library function. I submitted a patch to the R bug tracker as bug 16168 and I've also included it below. The alternate code is simpler and easier to read/maintain, I believe. Any thoughts on other ways to write this?

...ticate against an Active Directory domain. The problem I see with this, is that the Winbind uid mappings will not necessarily be the same on both nodes in the HA cluster. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the winbind uid and gid mappings to match on 2 separate servers? Alex Laslavic Havertys Tech Services

Hi all, The "ls" function wears two hats. It allows users to inspect an environment interactively and also serves deeper in code as the accessor for an environment's names/keys. I propose that we separate these two conflicting goals, keeping ls for interactive use and adding names for a quick listing of the hash keys. This involves adding two lines to do_names in attrib.c.

Hi all, The function call series genericForPrimitive -> .findBasicFuns -> .findAll happens 4400 times while the GenomicRanges package is loading. Each time .findAll follows a chain of environments to determine that the methods namespace is the only one that holds a variable called .BasicFunsList. This accounts for ~10% of package loading time. I'm sure there is some history to that

All, So that suggests that .GlobalEnv[["X"]] is more efficient than get("X", pos=1L). What about .GlobalEnv[["X"]] <- value, compared to assign("X", value)?

Hi all, When S4 methods are defined on base function (say, "match"), the function becomes a method with the body "base::match(x,y)". A call to such a function often spends more time doing "::" than in the function itself. I always assumed that "::" was a very low-level thing, but it turns out to be a plain old function defined in base/R/namespace.R. What

Hi I think the following behavior is a regression from R 3.2.5: > match(iconv( c("\u00f8", "A"), from = "UTF8", to = "latin1" ), "\u00f8") [1] 1 NA > match(iconv( c("\u00f8"), from = "UTF8", to = "latin1" ), "\u00f8") [1] NA > match(iconv( c("\u00f8"), from = "UTF8",

How about unique them both and compare the lengths? It's less work, especially allocation. Pete ____________________ Peter M.

We had considered that, but we thought the definition of the function would be easier to interpret if it explicitly specified the namespace, instead of

Hi All, I've been looking into speeding up the loading of packages that use a lot of S4. After profiling I noticed the "exists" function accounts for a surprising fraction of the time. I have some thoughts about speeding up exists (below). More to the point of this post, Martin M?chler noted that 'exists' and 'get' are often used in conjunction. Both functions are

I think that the "sorted" and "all.names" arguments are really only appropriate for pretty printing to the screen. I think it is a bit unfortunate that environments have a names accessor that is 60X slower than all the other types. This is likely due to the history of environments, which were originally just for behind-the-scenes tasks. Now that users can use environments as

I think you can simplify a little by replacing this: pkg %in% loadedNamespaces() with this: .getNamespace(pkg) Whereas getNamespace(pkg) will load the package if it's not already loaded, calling .getNamespace(pkg) (note the leading dot) won't load the package. I can't speak to whether there are any pitfalls in changing the library path searching, though. -Winston On Thu, Jan
