similar to: R_tryEval not properly documented in 'Writing R Extensions' (PR#9525)

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 2.4.1 OS: N/A Submission from: (NULL) (75.55.126.10) R_tryEval is implied to be in the public API by 'Embedding R in Other Applications,' but not documented in 'Writing R Extensions.' This would seem to be an oversight given the dependence of many applications including but not limited to the official OS X GUI on this function.

Hello. I'm currently working on the OCaml-R binding allowing to call R code from Objective Caml. As Objective Caml is a functional language, I'd like the binding to be as 'functional' as possible. Specifically, this means that I'd like using the R_tryEval function and all related entry points in libR.so. I've had a look at R-exts.pdf, but R_tryEval is not documented.

Hi all (especially R-core) I suppose, With the introduction of the new functional programming functions into base I thought I'd ask for a Curry() function. I use a simple one that looks this: Curry = function(FUN,...) { .orig = list(...);function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } This comes in really handy when using say, heatmap():

Hello, I've been playing around w/ the new dynamic C symbol stuff (thank you for doing that!) in the, um, 5/11/01 R-devel package and, unless I've missed something incredibly obvious, there doesn't appear to be a mechanism for registering functions of an embedding executable. It seems like this would be a Good Thing to have. Since I'm doing most of my work in Windows at the

Hi all, I'm having a problem with some sort of interaction with try() and methods, I think. The setup is as follows, I have an S4 class that holds an environment and I would like to evaluate the right hand side of a function inside that environment. No problem there. However, if the formula involves a symbol that doesn't exist, which may or may not happen, it fails as it should and

Has anyone taken a shot at a Cairo graphics device yet? I half expected to see one on either Paul's pages or Omegahat. :-) --- Byron Ellis (ellis at stat.harvard.edu) "Oook" -- The Librarian

Is there any way to distinguish between an error and a user interruption in R_tryEval? In both cases the ErrorOccurred argument is set to 1. For my application I need a different action in case of a SIGINT. >From the source code I infer that R_tryEval basically wraps eval in R_ToplevelExec, which returns TRUE if fun returns normally, FALSE if it results in a jump to top level. However both an

...at least I think that is what happens, at least on some configurations. Here's a repeatable example: cd R_HOME/tests/Embedding touch tmp.R make tryEval and then (correct) > ./tryEval --slave Error in sqrt("") : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function Caught an error calling sqrt(). Try again with a different argument. [1] 3 versus (non-interactive; no return) >

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: R 1.9.0 (and 2.0.0) OS: Linux (Redhat Fedora Core) Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.241.197) It appears that `R CMD build` cannot handle spaces in the path when building packages for distribution. For instance: [ellis@net-78815 ~/Bayesian Networks]$ R CMD build bnsl * checking for file 'bnsl/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'bnsl': * cleaning src *

Hello, When using R_tryEval (from JRI in my case), is there a way to setup error recovery strategy and more generally calling handlers. From my reading of context.c, R_tryEval calls R_ToplevelExec which creates a context like this: begincontext(&thiscontext, CTXT_TOPLEVEL, R_NilValue, R_GlobalEnv, R_BaseEnv, R_NilValue, R_NilValue); so I guess what I am trying to do is add

Some quick questions about S4 methods. Does the typing of S4 methods mean that lazy evaluation is no longer possible? It seems that you would need to evaluate the arguments to determine their type at dispatch. Second, what role, if any, do default arguments play in S4 methods? I notice that you can put default arguments into generics but that the dispatch is still done on the type of the

Hi, R_tryEval, exported in Rinternals.h but not part of the API, is currently defined as: R_tryEval(SEXP e, SEXP env, int *ErrorOccurred); I'm trying to embed R in an application (basically yet another GUI), and this has been very helpful to catch errors. It would be even more helpful if it also gave access to the visibility flag. I can wrap this in a call to withVisible, and that works

So, consider the following: > example(glm) > g = function(model) { w = runif(9);glm(model,weights=w); } > g(counts ~ outcome + treatment) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "w" not found Huh?! I suspect that somebody is lazily evaluating arguments in the wrong environment (probably GlobalEnv in this case). I'm willing to accept the fact that there's

Is the anonymous CVS repository for R presently broken? There haven't been many updates coming through and the repository files seem to differ significantly from the rsync version of R-devel...

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 2.8.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (64.124.65.175) There is a missing ';' just above platform.c:1661 on the line "X11 = FALSE" that causes compilation errors when X11 libraries are not being used.

Thanks Byron, I assume you use new Devel Tool updates and nothing from fink? Can other people with new dev tools check this (for example Jan?) It would be nice to update the instuction page (and R-admin in the future) some general notes: 1. there is no need to configure with --without-x as X11 can now be used from inside RAqua 2. please use R-devel and not R-Sig-Mac as we will soon close this

Hi, I have an embedded R, with the evaluation of expressions happening over time during the lifespan of the process. I tried either `R_eval()` and `R_tryEval()` for the evaluation. The issue I have is that the processing of warnings does not happen until the process exits and/or R is shut down. Evaluating `warnings()` returns NULL (NILSXP). It seems like the warnings are stuck in a list out of

Hi! In RKWard we use R_tryEval() at a number places to run R commands. In order to make sure that any generated warnings become visible close to the problem, we were following up (most of) these calls with Rf_PrintWarnings(). Rf_PrintWarnings() was never available in the headers (as far as I know), and in r61771 the symbol has been hidden from libR.so. So this solution is no longer
