Hello, I was reading through serialize.c and i couldn't answer something. In readItem, case CHARSXP, rules exists to adjust the read string for string encoding. Q1. I couldn't find where the encoding of the elements of the string vector are written? Is it when writeItem writes out the attributes of the item? But i couldn't find encoding in the attributes field x <- "fa\xE7ile" Encoding(x) <- "latin1" xx <- iconv(x, "latin1", "UTF-8") y=c(x,xx) attributes(y) NULL Apologies if this has been asked before Regar...

...R also needs to check for interrupts while saving sufficiently long vectors. Since the serialize() infrastructure is carefully written to avoid resource leaks on allocation failures, it looks relatively safe to liberally sprinkle R_CheckUserInterrupt() where it makes sense to do so, i.e. once per WriteItem() (which calls itself recursively and non-recursively) and once per every downstream for loop iteration. Valgrind doesn't show any new leaks if I apply the patch, interrupt serialize() and then exit. R also passes make check after the applied patch. Do these changes make sense, or am I overloo...

Hello, Could save.image() be redesigned so that it promptly responds to Ctrl+C? It prevents the command line from being used for a number of hours if the contents of the workspace are large. -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia
