Any idea why CHAR(asChar(STRING_ELT( produces NA whereas CHAR(STRING_ELT( gets a pointer to a string? It's generally expected that STRING_ELT should already be a character, but why the coercion does not work? Here is a simple example (consistent over R2.5.1-R2.6 rev 42284, I didn't check earlier versions, but it used to be different in 2.4): install.packages("inline")

Currently, I load the RData file then ls() and str(). But loading the file takes too long if the file is big. Most of the time, I only interested what the variables are in the the file and the attributes of the variables (like if it is a data.frame, matrix, what are the colnames/rownames, etc.) I'm wondering if there is any facility in R to help me avoid loading the whole file.

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:

[some de-capitalization of *SXP done manually by mailing list maintainer ; the originally was caught as potential spam.

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

Hello from Bioconductor, I'm developing a package to share R objects across clusters using boost library. The concept is similar to mmap package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mmap/index.html . However, I have a problem when I was trying to write Dataptr_method for the alternative string. Based on my understanding, the return value of the Dataptr_method function should be a vector

Hello, As this little program illustrates, duplicating a STRSXP does not seem deep enough. require( inline ) fx <- cfunction( signature( x = "character"), ' SEXP y = PROTECT( duplicate( x ) ); int n = LENGTH(x); int nc = 0 ; char* p = 0 ; for( int i=0; i<n; i++){ p = (char*)( CHAR( STRING_ELT( y , i ) ) ); nc = strlen( p ) ; for( int j=0; j<nc; j++){ p[j] =

Hi Gabriel, Thanks for your explanation, I totally understand that it is almost impossible to change the data structure of STRSXP. However, what I'm proposing is not about changing the internal representation, but rather about how we design and use the ALTREP API. I might do not state the workarounds clearly as English is not my first language. Please let me explain them again in detail.

R community, As you may know, R's iconv doesn't work well converting to and from encodings that allow embedded nulls. For example > iconv("foo", to="UTF-16") Error in iconv("foo", to = "UTF-16") : embedded nul in string: '\xff\xfef\0o\0o\0' However, I don't believe embedded nulls are at issue here, but rather that R's iconv

Hi, I want to read a text file into R with .Call(). So I define some NEW_CHARACTER() to store the chracters read and use SET_STRING_ELT to fill the elements. e.g. PROTECT(qNames = NEW_CHARACTER(10000)); char *foo; // This foo holds the string I want. while(foo = readLine(FN)){ SET_STRING_ELT(qNames, i, mkChar(foo))); } In this way, I can get the desired character from qNames. The only problem

1. Is there some way to copy a promise so that the copy has the same expression in its promise as the original. In the following we y is a promise that we want to copy to z. We want z to be a promise based on the expression x since y is a promise based on the expression x. Thus the answer to the code below is desired to be z=2 but its 1, 1 and y in the next three examples so they are not the

Hello, I'm evaluating this expression expression({ for(x in 1:5){ .Call('rh_status','x') }}) a million times from a program with R embedded in it.

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, I have a C code which produces array of integers and potentially a string, and I have problems passing the string out. Here is the relevant part of the code: 1 PROTECT(Ret = allocVector(INTSXP, n)); 2 ret = (int*) INTEGER(Ret); /* get pointer to R's Ret */ 3 for(i=0; i<n; i++) ret[i] = data[i]; 4 Free(data); 5 i=1; 6 if (comment) { // comment was found 7 n

After getting one list done, I am now struggling to form a data frame in C. I tried to do a list of lists which gives me : $<NA> $<NA>[[1]] [1] "BID" $<NA>[[2]] [1] 0.6718 $<NA>[[3]] [1] 3e+06 $<NA> $<NA>[[1]] [1] "BID" $<NA>[[2]] [1] 0.6717 $<NA>[[3]] [1] 5e+06 $<NA> $<NA>[[1]] [1] "BID"

Hi, Vince and I have noticed a problem with non-syntactic names in data frames and some modeling code (but not all modeling code). The following, while almost surely as documented could be a bit more helpful: m = matrix(rnorm(100), nc=10) colnames(m) = paste(1:10, letters[1:10], sep="_") d = data.frame(m, check.names=FALSE) f = formula(`1_a` ~ ., data=d) tm =

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

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
