R-devel Digest, Vol 90, Issue 20
...n instead of the file name and all would be well since you could use in-memory connections instead of files ...;)
May I dare asking about what happened to past offers to alleviate the
problem ?
There is at least one patch (contributed 4 years ago)
http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:r_connections_api
that remained seemingly ignored, and subsequent requests for updates (or
patch submission policies) remained similarly unanswered.
A recent thread showed unexpected progress, with the eventual
possibility of accepting a patch being worded.

Connections patch
...ections API for packages writers and those
embedding R into other systems. The patch is here:
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/RApacheProject/Conn-patch-R-devel-r39773.patch
and I've started an R wiki for discussion here:
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=developers:r_connections_api
Main points:
1) C code can create new connections and pass them back to R.
2) R code can utilize them just like existing connections.
3) C code can also utilize them.
3) stdin, stdout, and stderr connections can be replaced with something
else.
Comments much appreciated,
Jeff

in the 'Green Book' closely. There were a number of features that forced
a particular implementation, and one was getConnection() that allows one
to recreate a connection object from a number.
I am wondering if anyone makes use of this, and if so for what?
It would seem closer to the R philosophy to have
