similar to: as.name() is not idempotent (PR#337)

My understanding is that R will not make copies of lists if there is only one reference to the object. However, I've encountered a case where R does make copies, even though (I think) there should be only one reference to the object. I hope that someone could shed some light on why this is happening. I'll start with a simple example. Below, x is a list with one element, and changing that

Dear all, I have written a little R program to convert images. See below. Within the loop over j (the filenames) memory consumption grows constantly. rm( ... ) inside the loop did not help. Memory does not grow if I remove the writeBin statements between the two #-------- marks. But obviously this is not solution I want... Thanks for any advice. Manfred Baumstark P.S. As I'm new to R:

Hi, I'm trying to install RMySQL and I keep hitting errors. My computer is: uname -a Linux cricket 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:36:25 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have set the following environment settings: export PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" I run the following command: R CMD INSTALL

I'm confused by this: > identical(function() {}, function() {}) [1] FALSE Yet, after loading the Matrix package (which redefines det), the following is checked (in library.checkConflicts): > identical(get("det", baseenv()), get("det", asNamespace("Matrix")), ignore.environment=T) [1] TRUE I've looked at the code in identical.c and for closures it

Full_Name: Ed Borasky Version: 1.8.1 OS: Windows XP Professional Submission from: (NULL) (208.252.96.195) R 1.8.1 seems to be running into a memory allocation problem in the "aggregate" function. I have a rather large dataset (14 columns by 223,000 rows -- almost 40 megabytes) and a script that performs some processing on it. The system is a 768 MB Pentium 4. Here's the console

[some de-capitalization of *SXP done manually by mailing list maintainer ; the originally was caught as potential spam. MM] I have a little R program that crashes with the message xmalloc: out of virtual memory The code has a repeat{} loop that watches the sizes of some files. When there's an increase it updates things by reading the last 65 lines of each file, doing some

Happy new year to all; A few days ago, I posted similar problem. At that time, I found out that our R program had been 32-bit compiled, not 64-bit compiled. So the R program has been re-installed in 64-bit and run the same job, reading in 150 Affymetrix U133A v2 CEL files and perform dChip processing. However, the memory problem happened again. Since the amount of physical memory is 64GB, I think

Hi, all; I know there has been a lot of discussions on memory usage in R. However, I have some odd situation here. Basically, I have a rare opportunity to run R in a system with 64GB memory without any limit on memory usage for any person or process. However, I encountered the memory problem error message like this: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 594075 Kb I got this error message while

I've been playing with passing arguments to .C(), and found that replacing as.double(x) with if(is.double(x)) x else as.double(x) saves time and avoids one copy, in the case that x is already double. I suggest modifying as.double to avoid the extra copy and just return x, when x is already double. Similarly for as.integer, etc. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I was debugging a problem reported to me regarding PL/R, and found that I can duplicate it using only R sources. It might be characterized as possibly a misuse of the findFun() function, but I leave that for the R devel experts to decide. The below results are all with R-2.5.1 (I can't seem to download r-patched at the moment, but didn't see anything in the 2.5.1-patched release

Hi all, Just a quick question about the idempotence of an intrinsic function. Is there a way to specify that an intrinsic function is idempotent? I am trying to give as much information about the intrinsic function I added to LLVM so that LLVM can do optimizations otherwise disabled. Thanks a lot in advance. Bin

Hi, I am trying to minimize a rather complex function of 5 parameters with gafit and nlm. Besides some problems with both optimization algorithms (with respect to consistantly generating similar results), I tried to run this optimization about a hundred times for yet two other parameters. Unfortunately, as the log below shows, during that batch process R starts to eat up all my RAM,

Can someone offer some advice on how to properly evaluate a SYMSXP from a .Call ? I have the following in R: variable xn, with an attribute "mu" which references the variable mu in the global environment. I know "references" is a loose term; mu was defined in this fashion as a way to implement deferred binding: foo <- function(x,mu) { attr(x,"mu") <-

Hi, Somehow function-like macros from Rinternals.h are not defined when I include the file. foo.c ################## #include <R.h> #include <Rinternals.h> #ifndef NILSXP #error("NILSXP") #endif #ifndef INTEGER #error("INTEGER") #endif ################### When compiled: vor/src% gcc -I/usr/local/lib/R/include -g -O2 -c foo.c -o foo.o foo.c:11:2: #error

As part of PhD research I integrated support for code generation of idempotent (re-executable) code regions into LLVM, along with a supporting IR-level analysis to identify and demarcate large "semantically" idempotent regions [1]. Some have expressed interest the code, so here is a link that contains some documentation and pointers to the source hosted on GitHub:

Hello All, I tried the sample code from the help. Although '{' is assigned to 'do', the call syntaxes for 'do' and '{' are not the same ('do' has ','s, but '{' has line breaks). I guess there is a difference in parsing the code block of 'do' and the code block of '{'. Could you please let me know some internal details so that

At least I think the word I want "idempotent" - it has been a long debugging session and my brain is fried so I am not sure. What I mean is that as.name applied to a name gives an error. > as.name("foo") foo > as.name(as.name("foo")) Error in as.name(x) : character argument required It might help if it were a bit more flexible about the arguments it

Our code calls del_vqs multiple times, assuming it's idempotent. commit 3ec7a77bb3089bb01032fdbd958eb5c29da58b49 virtio_pci: free up vq->priv broke this assumption, by adding kfree there, so multiple calls cause double free.

Hello, I?m experimenting with ALTREP and was wondering if there is a preferred way to create an ALTREP wrapper vector without using .Internal(wrap_meta(?)), which R CMD check doesn?t like since it uses an .Internal() function. I was trying to create a factor that used an ALTREP integer, but attempting to set the class and levels attributes always ended up duplicating and materializing the
