similar to: build of REventLoop package crashes with 2.1 due tosyntax error in Defn.h (PR#8017)

In what way is this a bug in R? It looks like a bug in the package, and as Defn.h is not part of R's API any packge using it is `at risk' (and cannot be installed in a binary-only installation, or even an installed version of R). In particular, Defn,.h depends on config.h, and it seems you installed a binary version of R and used separate sources. I would suggest building R from

My understanding (which could be wrong) is that when you source a file, it first gets translated to your native locale and then parsed. When you parse a character vector, it does not get translated. In your locale, every "?" character (U+044F) gets replaced by the byte "\xFF": > iconv("\u044f", "UTF-8", "Windows-1251") [1]

Hello. I've been trying to wrap up the R_NilValue into OCaml-R. I nevertheless get a segfault. As I gathered, R_NilValue is declared in Rinternals.h: > /* Special Values */ > LibExtern SEXP R_NilValue; /* The nil object */ > LibExtern SEXP R_UnboundValue; /* Unbound marker */ > LibExtern SEXP R_MissingArg; /* Missing argument marker */ So, in my r_data.c

Your analysis looks pretty complete to me and your solutions seems plausible. That said, I don't know that I would have the level of confidence yet that we haven't missed an important point that I would want before going down this route. Losing stack checking is risky; it might be eventually possible to provide some support for this to be handled via a thread-local variable. Ensuring

Hi Andreas, note that with the introduction of ALTREP, as far as I understand, calls as "simple" as DATAPTR can execute arbitrary code (R or native). Even without ALTREP, if you execute user-provided R code via Rf_eval and such on some custom thread, you may end up executing native code of some package, which may assume it is executed only from the R main thread. Could you (1)

R 2.1.0/src/include from 2005/04/18 download Naming inconsistent for guards as well but that's pedantic. Simple convention: file <foo.h> #ifndef R_FOO_H file <R_ext/bar.h> #ifndef R_EXT_BAR_H Missing guards: <IOStuff.h> <Internal.h> <Parse.h> <R_ext/GraphicsBase.h> <R_ext/GraphicsDevice.h> <R_ext/GraphicsEngine.h>

Stepan, Andreas gave a lot more thought into what you question in your reply. His question was how you can avoid what you where proposing and have proper threading under safe conditions. Having dealt with this before, I think Andreas' write up is pretty much the most complete analysis I have seen. I'd wait for Luke to chime in as the ultimate authority if he gets to it. The

I need to implement some external callbacks to R and I'm not happy with the current REPL, since it prevents any general solution. Are there plans to improve the current REPL anytime soon? The current approach has some deficiencies you are surely aware of (only one input (=external event loop), the loop is blocked while waiting for input in R_ReadConsole, ...). But the major problem is

Hi, As the subject suggests, I am looking for the most robust way to call an (arbitrary) function from the R API from another but the main POSIX thread in a package's code. I know that, "[c]alling any of the R API from threaded code is ?for experts only? and strongly discouraged. Many functions in the R API modify internal R data structures and might corrupt these data structures if

For those who are interested, I've finished release of 0.4 of pmg and have placed it on my website at http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/pmg. The pmg package provides some GUI elements using the RGtk package and friends: RGtk, OOP, RGtkExtra, RGtkHTML, RGdkPixbuf, RGtkViewers and REventLoop from www.omegahat.org and gtkDevice from CRAN. (These require a form of UNIX such as linux, OS

I get the error undefined symbol: Rf_rownamesgets when I try to load my package, which include C++ code that calls that function. This is particularly strange since the code also calls Rf_classgets, and it loaded OK with just that. Can anyone tell me what's going on? For the record, I worked around this with the general purpose attribute setting commands and R_RowNamesSymbol. I

Hello, I do not have an account on R Bugzilla, so I will post my bug report here. I want to report a very old bug in base R *source()* function. It relates to sourcing some R scripts in UTF-8 encoding on Windows machines. For some reason if the UTF-8 script is containing cyrillic letter *"?"*, the script execution is interrupted directly on this letter (btw the same scripts are sourcing

This is my first question to this list and possibly a bit dumb, but anyway: Can anybody tell me, where, e.g. in the "unix" reference release a DEFINITION of char * R_Home can be found? Via Defn.h the "extern" DECLARATION is everywhere, but when I derived a somewhat other main() program my linker complained about the missing definition. Thomas Hoffmann.

When trying to compile R on Windows 10 64-bit using LTO as I always do, I encountered a segmentation fault early in the compilation. I am uncertain as to what it means (please see below for error extract). I am using the most recent version of Rtools43 (5863) and updated its libraries prior to starting the build. My EOPTS is " -march=native -pipe -mno-rtm" and my

Hello, Is it possible to configure an ENC to provide class definition to a number of nodes at the same time where a few other nodes are controlled in the site.pp by node ''FQDN'' {blah} for the same puppetmaster ? I am wondering once parameters are set for the master to look for an ENC based definitions, will it conflict with the site.pp node definitions ? For example these

Hi, I am happy to announce that I finished the translation of almost all LGPL'ed R headerfiles to Delphi. As a test I did several demos which basically contain delphized versions of all the examples of chapter 5 in "Writing R Extensions". Please have a look in the attachments for details (DemosAndHeaders.txt), more information (Readme.txt) and an example of how it looks

Dear r-devel members, I encountered a C stack limit issue, when I tried to embed R 2.5 into my application. In the R-exts document, it says:"Note that R's own front ends use a stack size of 10Mb". I desire to know: is it possible to decrease this stack size by modifying R's source code? If it's possible, which part of the source code is responsible for the issue? Thank

Hi, The function cummax() seems to have a bug. > x <- c(NA, 0) > storage.mode(x) <- "integer" > cummax(x) [1] NA 0 The correct result of this case should be NA NA. The mistake in [ https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/main/cum.c#L130-L136] may be the reason.

When using multicore-forking of the parallel package, is it possible for a child process to know that it is a fork? Something like: parallel::mclapply(1:10, FUN = function(i) { test_if_running_in_a_fork() }) I'm looking into ways to protect against further parallel processes (including threads), which not necessarily are created via the parallel:mc* API, are being spawned off recursively.
