similar to: Duncan's retirement: who's taking over Rtools?

I think that even though some Microsoft employees may have good intentions Microsoft as a company can not be trusted. There will be always a danger that they will try to create their own version of R which works only on Windows and that will become increasingly divergent from "other" R. We witnessed such (cursed in my opinion) attempts with their treatment of Java and Internet Explorer.

Likewise, a hearty THANK YOU from me and the rest of the team at Microsoft for all the work you, Duncan, have put into making R available for Windows users around the world over the past 15 years. I know it wasn't easy (Windows is not without its quirks), but R users everywhere, ourselves included, are deeply appreciative and have benefited greatly. The Microsoft R team is willing and able to

????? I concur with Moshe.? David and his team have done great thing for R, but a lion will not become a vegetarian.? I think that any reasonable reading of Microsoft's history will supports that perspective.? However, this is a fairly well documented phenomenon far beyond Microsoft.? Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for establishing that, especially regarding

Hi Duncan, I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few other prior commitments that I have to finish first. Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.

Hi, Duncan i have forwarded this thread to Nathan, who promised to look into it.

I installed R 3.4.2 (Windows) and noticed that 30 folders are under my R_HOME/library folder. I assume all of these are R base packages. Is this correct? Where can I see a list of current R base packages? Also; are R base packages also in CRAN? and are these packages updated only when a new version of R is released or can the be updated at a different time? Thanks [[alternative HTML version

We were also able to reproduce the issue on Windows Server 2012.

Thanks Andy, helpful as always! 1 is a possibility, but not ideal for us. Could you elaborate a little on 3? I don't really know what a jump stub is, but am guessing it's a kind of "alternative symbol" which would just act as a middle man to invoke the "real" symbol in the static library. If that's the case, I can think of a way to implement it for specific

Hey Bjorn, Were you able to figure this out or is it still broken for you? Our scenario is a little bit different, but I have a theory as to what may be going wrong. What linker are you using when you compile your project with clang-cl? I am wondering whether the version of the linker and/or the libraries that you are using is too old in comparison to the one used for the clang compilation.

I'd be curious to know what others think of Rich's patch. If it is acceptable, I can spend time that I was going to look at it this week on another bug. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Calaway Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 6:34 PM To: Nathan Sosnovske <nsosnov at microsoft.com>; Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>; Andrie de Vries <apdevries at gmail.com>

First of all, thanks very much to Lang for fixing the BSS section bug; works like a charm! I’ve been unable to reproduce the 32 bit relocation on 64 bit code (I’ll let you know if I do). However, I’m still having issues with resolving the 64 bit symbol relocations. In case it’s relevant, the specific symbol my program is tripping up on is IID_IOleObject, where TargetAddress is dereferenced

Some time ago I posted here regarding a relocation overflow on Windows (among other things), but the issue disappeared and so the thread got left. I've started this new thread because a) I didn't want to necro the old one and b) it felt like its own. I've now encountered the issue again and am noting down all the information I can get about it whilst it's happening. The issues is

Hi All, I have a fix to this bug ( https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16454) and would like to submit a patch to the bug report on Bugzilla. I'd also like to start going through some of the other Windows-specific issues and start fixing those. The bug submission instructions indicate that I should ask here for a Bugzilla account. Is that still the correct procedure? Thanks!

Thanks for the link! There’s some code there that looks extremely relevant to say the least. > On 1 Oct 2015, at 19:00, Hayden Livingston <halivingston at gmail.com> wrote: > > Maybe looking at their code might help: > > https://github.com/dotnet/llilc/blob/dd12743f9cdb5418f1c39b2cd756da1e8396a922/lib/Jit/LLILCJit.cpp#L299 > > On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 10:45 AM, David

Dear R-devel: The Cluster administrators at KU got enthusiastic about testing R-3.2.2 with Intel MKL when I asked for some BLAS integration. Below I forward a performance report, which is encouraging, and thought you would like to know the numbers. Appears to my untrained eye there are some extraordinary speedups on Cholesky decomposition, determinants, and matrix inversion. They had

That's great news, thanks! If I can be of any help, let me know. :) I'll see if I can reduce the example for the relocation issue whilst you're at it.
