similar to: WISH: eval() to preserve the "visibility" (now value is always visible)

Sorry to intervene. Argument passed to 'eval' is evaluated first. So, eval(x <- 2) is effectively like { x <- 2; eval(2) } , which is effectively { x <- 2; 2 } . The result is visible. eval(expression(x <- 2)) or eval(quote(x <- 2)) or evalq(x <- 2) gives the same effect as x <- 2 . The result is invisible. In function 'eval2', res <-

R-team, The $value element of the return value of *withVisible* does not agree with the return value of *eval* when *withVisible* is passed a variable (symbol) containing an expression object or anonymous code/expressions which generates an expression object when evaluated (such as calls to *parse* or * expression*). I have attached a patch against the svn trunk which addresses this. Example

OBJECTIVE: To update source(..., print.eval=FALSE) to not use withVisible() unless really needed. This avoids unnecessary increases of reference counts/NAMED introduced by withVisible(), which in turn avoids unnecessary memory allocations and garbage collection overhead. This has an impact on all source():ed scripts, e.g. pre-allocation of large matrices to save memory does *not always* help in

Hi, is there a way to retrieve the line number of where en error occurred when sourcing a file in a tryCatch statement? Is it stored somewhere accessible? It is not found in the error object. Consider the following code/output and note the difference in the traceback between source (has line number) and sys.source (has no line number). Thank you, Renaud ######## # code ######## codefile <-

Hi, Calling gdistance::shortestPath gives me the error Error in asMethod(object) : not a symmetric matrix; consider forceSymmetric() or symmpart() The output of dput(.traceback()) is pairlist("stop(\"not a symmetric matrix; consider forceSymmetric() or symmpart()\")", "asMethod(object)", "as(Laplacian,\"symmetricMatrix\")",

Martin, thanks for the good news and sorry for wasting your (and others time) by not doing my homework and query bugzilla first (lesson learned! ). I have tested the new implementation from R-devel and observe a semantic difference when playing with the parameters: # Test script 1 g <- "global" f <- function(p) { l <- "local" dump.frames() }

Contrary to, say, Sys.setenv(), Sys.setlocale() returns it's value visibly. This means that if you for instance add: Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "C") to your .Rprofile file, it will print: [1] "C" at startup. The workaround is to wrap the call in invisible(), but I'd argue that any "setter" function should return invisibly. Some more details:

I am getting the following erro rmessage in ordistep. I have a number of similarly structured datasets using ordistep in a loop, and the message only occurs for some of the datasets. I cannot include a reproducible sample - the specific datasets where this is occur ing are fairly large and there are several pcnm's in the rhs of the formula. thanks for any pointers that may allow me to

Hi, in R-3.1.0 (Linux), traceback() does not show the source file line number for the truncated calls, when limiting the number of lines output for each call with argument max.lines. See sample code, output and session info below (in particular, output for call number 5). I guess this is not intended. Thank you. Bests, Renaud #################### ## File: traceback.R a <- function(...){

I've noticed the following oddity where capture.output() prevents eval() from evaluating an expression in the specified environment. I'm not sure if it is an undocumented feature or a bug. It caused me many hours of troubleshooting. By posting it here, it might save someone else from doing the same exercise. Start by defining foo() which evaluates an expression locally in a given

my understanding of `eval' behaviour is obviously incomplete. my question: usually `eval(expr)' and `eval(expr, envir=parent.frame())' should be identical. why does the last `eval' (yielding `r3') in this code _not_ evaluate in the local environment of function `f' but rather in the global environment (if `f' is called from there)?

Hi R-listers, I am trying to make a trellis boxplot with the HSuccess (y-axis) in each Rayos (beach sections) (x-axis), for each Aeventexhumed (A, B, C) - nesting event.

I've been looking at the help page for eval for a while, but I can't make sense of why this example does not work. show.a <- function() { a } init.env <- function() { a <- 200 environment() } my.env <- init.env() ls(envir=my.env) # returns this: # > ls(envir=my.env) # [1] "a" # but this does not work: eval(expression(show.a()),envir=my.env) # >

I am absolutely new to R and I am aware of only a few basic command lines. I was running a robust regression in R, using the following command line library (MASS) rfdmodel1 <- rlm (TotalEmployment_2004 ~ MISSISSIPPI + LOUISIANA + TotalEmployment_2000 + PCWhitePop_2004 + UnemploymentRate_2004 + PCUrbanPop2000 + PCPeopleWithACollegeDegree_2000 + PCPopulation.of.or.over.65.years.of.age_2004)

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

Dear mailing list, I have found some strange behaviour which I think relates to parent frames and eval. Can anyone explain what's going on here? First example: > test.parent.funcs_ function() { outer.var_ 5 subfunc1_ function() substitute( outer.var, envir=parent.frame()) print( subfunc1()) subfunc2b_ function() eval( quote( outer.var), envir=parent.frame()) print(

R-users & helpers: I am using Amelia, mitools and cmprsk to fit cumulative incidence curves to multiply imputed datasets. The error message that I get "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : invalid 'envir' argument" occurs when I try to fit models to the 50 imputed datasets using the "with.imputationList" function of mitools. The problem seems to occur
