similar to: Suggestion: mkString(NULL) should be NA

Shouldn't Rf_mkString(NULL) return (the c-level equivalent of) character() rather than the NA_character_? An empty string and NULL aren't the same. It seems reasonable for Rf_mkChar to give NA_character_ though. ~G On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 8:42 AM, Jeroen Ooms <jeroen.ooms at stat.ucla.edu> wrote: > On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 1:20 PM, Jeroen Ooms <jeroen.ooms at

Hi guys, I've got a question about the API mkchar(). I have met some difficulty in parsing utf-8 string to mkchar() in R-2.7.0. I was intending to parse an utf-8 string str_jan (some Japanese characters such as?, whose utf-8 code is E381B5) to R API SEXP mkChar(const char *name) , we only need to create the SEXP using the string that we parsed. Unfortunately, I found when parsing the

Can we use the "bytes" encoding for such environment variables invalid in the current locale? The following patch preserves CE_NATIVE for strings valid in the current UTF-8 or multibyte locale (or non-multibyte strings) but sets CE_BYTES for those that are invalid: Index: src/main/sysutils.c =================================================================== --- src/main/sysutils.c

Not necessarily. A char* of

The R script I run daily for hours looks like this: while (!finish) { Sys.sleep(0.1) time = as.integer(format(Sys.time(), "%H%M")) # always crash here if (new.data.timestamp() <= time) next # ... do some jobs for about 2 minutes ... gc() } Basically it waits for new data, which comes in every 10 minutes, and do some jobs, then gc(), then loop again.

A reply from stackoverflow suggests I might have hit this bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14023 I can confirm that this glibc bug affects my system (latest CentOS 7). However, as far as I know, R is not multithreaded in its core. Is it possible that some library triggered this? Regards, Steve Tomas Kalibera <tomas.kalibera at gmail.com> ?2019?8?2??? ??4:59??? >

Hi , I am using C interface of R . If a unicode string is read , in what format I could pass it back to R ? I was trying to use the following tpStr = ( char *)val; SET_STRING_ELT(innerList , 0, mkChar(tpStr)); It does not work . If I pass it back from as RAW format to R , what package is there to read it ? I mean package for interpreting RAW data . Thanks, Sandip [[alternative HTML

Hello. I'm still working on my OCaml-R binding and I get a segfault in the GetNewPage() function of memory.c. For the record, the OCaml-R binding seems to work fine with OCaml bytecode. The segfault here is the main issue I have with OCaml native code. OCaml-R can be found on the following links. Source code: http://yziquel.homelinux.org/gitweb/?p=ocaml-r.git;a=summary

Function factor() in the current development version (2009-05-22) guarantees that levels are different character strings. However, they may represent the same decimal number. The following example is derived from a posting by Stavros Macrakis in thread "Match .3 in a sequence" in March nums <- 0.3 + 2e-16 * c(-2,-1,1,2) f <- factor(nums) levels(f) # [1]

The documentation for the POSIXlt class states '"POSIXlt" objects will often have an attribute "tzone", a character vector of length 3 giving the time zone name from the TZ environment variable and the names of the base time zone and the alternate (daylight-saving) time zone. Sometimes this may just be of length one, giving the time zone

Hi all, I am working with some large data sets (1-4 GB) and have some questions that I hope someone can help me with: 1. Is there a way to turn off garbage collector from within C interface ? what I am trying to do is suck data from mysql (using my own C functions) and I see that allocating each column (with about 1-4 million items) takes between 0.5 and 1 seconds. My

Hello all, I am writing an R interface to some C++ files which make use of std::wstring classes for internationalization. Previously (when I wanted to make R strings from C++ std::strings), I would do something like this to construct a string in R from the results of the parse. SET_VECTOR_ELT(vals, i++, mkString(header.GetHeader().c_str())); However, now the call header.GetHeader().c_str()

I'm very green with R, so maybe this is not a bug, but it looks like one to me. The following program segfaults at the second call to Rf_PrintValue(). To failure depends on the value of the y-string. E.g., if I change it from "coverage" to, say, "COVERAGE", the segfault does not occur. /* bug.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include <Rinternals.h> #include
