Re: [Rd] Package development process?

Thanks. I added rows for C++, Haskell, and PHP from your stackoverflow.com reference. I skipped the rest because I wasn't sure if they really fit and because I ran out of time for this right now. More suggestions (including encouragement to study the stackoverflow.com reference more) will

[Rd] using C++ finalizers for external pointers

Hello, In Rcpp, we use a C++ template to finalizers for external pointers: template typename T void delete_finalizer(SEXP p){ if( TYPEOF(p) == EXTPTRSXP ){ T* ptr = (T*) EXTPTR_PTR(p) ; delete ptr ; } } This works fine. Or at least it has appeared to work fine for some

[Rd] R CMD check error in v2.12.0

I have received the following error for my package oro.nifti under CRAN checks for r-devel-linux-ix86; i.e., http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-ix86/oro.nifti-00check.html - using R version 2.12.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-06-12 r52259) - using platform:

Re: [Rd] Package development process?

Hi Spencer, I think it is the emphasis on documentation that makes the R development process unique. Many other languages have equivalents to CRAN and R-forge - few others require the attention to documentation that R does. Hadley On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 8:45 PM, Spencer Graves

Re: [Rd] Package development process?

Hi, Hadley: What about the encouragement to add unit tests, if only disguised as examples? I've found the unit tests to be a powerful tool to help improve and maintain the quality of packages to which I contribute. To this end, Sundar and I added a column Autochecks to the

Re: [Rd] Package development process?

     What about the encouragement to add unit tests, if only disguised as examples? Examples are not unit tests. Examples are a convenient way of testing some aspects of the package, but serve a rather different purpose to tests. The R community does not emphase testing nearly as much as other

[Rd] cut takes long time

The following cut command takes nearly 10 seconds on my machine even though the length of input vector is only 6. I am running on Windows Vista with C2D BLAS using R 2.11.1. Using the default BLAS and either R 2.10.1 or R version 2.12.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-05-31 r52164) also gives

[Rd] constrOptim( ): conflict between help page and code

There is a contradiction between what the help page says and what constrOptim actually does with the constraints. The issue is what happens on the boundary. The help page says The feasible region is defined by ‘ui %*% theta - ci = 0’, but the R code for constrOptim reads if (any(ui %*%
