Could you recommend any packages/functions that compute hash such that the source references and sexpinfo_struct are ignored? Basically a version of `serialize` that convert R objects to raw without storing the ancillary source reference and sexpinfo. I think most people would think of `digest` but that package uses `serialize` (see discussion

If you can afford a dependency on rlang, `rlang::zap_srcref()` deals with this. It's recursive over expression vectors, calls (including calls to `function` and their hidden srcref arg), and function objects. It's implemented in C for efficiency as we found it to be a bottleneck in some applications (IIRC caching). I'd be happy to upstream this in base if R core is interested. Best,

Hi, sorry if this question is trivial or unclear, this is my first venture into mixed C/R programming (I am reasonably experienced in each separately). I am trying to write a serialization function for a format called typedbytes, which is used as an interchange format in Hadoop circles. Since I would need to serialize according to the internal R format many small R objects I looked at the c

Dear R-devel, In a package of mine, I use removeSource on expression objects in order to make expressions that are semantically the same serialize to the same byte sequences: https://github.com/cran/depcache/blob/854d68a/R/fixup.R#L8-L34 Today I learned that expressions containing function definitions also contain the source references for the functions, not as an attribute, but as a separate

Hello, I'm looking for examples of how to handle serialization of external pointers. We use external pointers intensively in Rcpp for modules and one popular request is to have persistence. And I guess we need to be able to serialize/deserialize external pointers for this. Also, module objects are all instances of reference classes, so maybe that can be handled at the R level ? Romain

Hello, Consider this file (/tmp/test.R) : <file> f <- function( x, y = 2 ){ z <- x + y print( z ) } </file> I get this in R 2.7.2 : > p <- parse( "/tmp/test.R" ) > str( attr( p, "srcref" ) ) List of 1 $ :Class 'srcref' atomic [1:4] 1 1 4 1 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Class 'srcfile' length 4 <environment>

Hi, on R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) (Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)) sourced functions have srcref attached as an attribute. Are such data also available for S4 generics and methods? How? (See sample code below) Thank you. Bests, Renaud f <- textConnection( " f <- function(){} setGeneric('myfun', function(x, ...) standardGeneric('myfun'))

First, why does this expression have a 'srcref' element: > exprA <- substitute(function(x) a*x, list(a=2)) > print(exprA) function(x) 2 * x > str(as.list(exprA)) List of 4 $ : symbol function $ :Dotted pair list of 1 ..$ x: symbol $ : language 2 * x $ :Class 'srcref' atomic [1:8] 1 20 1 34 20 34 1 1 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Classes

Dear R-devel, I found this behavior disturbing, if `1 + f()` is called, `sys.call()` called inside of `f` will return a quoted `f()` with a "srcref" that prints "1 + f()". I don't know which one is good but I don't think they can be correct at the same time. Here's a reproducible example: f <- function(){ sc <- sys.call() print(sc) attr(sc,

wholeSrcref attribute is documented in ?parse to be the source reference corresponding to the already parsed text. The implementation in the parser matches the documentation - the code stops at the last byte/character of the expression, that is, on the closing brace - which is the "already parsed text". I think this works as documented (also source() uses the current implementation

Hi, The result of as,character() on 'srcref' objects doesn't have the closing ')' in some cases involving 'quote': > e4 <- quote({2+2}) > class(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "srcref" > as.character(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "e4 <- quote({2+2}" As a result printing the object also lacks it and gives an

Dear R developers, Print method for function now tries to open the source file associated with srcref of the function. It outputs only the warning, if file cannot be open, and forgets to print the function definition. Example: eval(parse(text = "tf <- function(a){ b <- a^4 b }", srcfile = srcfile("xxx at 17"))) > tf <srcref: file "xxx at 17"

Dear R-Core Team, I found an unexpected behaviour in utils::removeSource (also present in r-devel as of today). --- # create a function which accepts NULL argument foo <- function(x, y) { if (is.null(y)) y <- "default foo" attr(x, "foo") <- y x } # create a function which utilizes 'foo' testSrc <- function() { x <- 1:3 x <- foo(x,

For documentation we use a system that generates Rd files from special comments in the code. (inlinedocs). It is crucial to be able to get the defining source code for objects like methods to extract the comments from it. Here is an R session that shows how this works for several kinds of methods and (at the end of the session) how if fails for methods of "initialize" >
