Hi,
R v2.1.1 patched (2005-05-26) for Windows crashes. The sympotoms are
like "memory leakage". The patched version from two days ago crashes at
a different position in R CMD check compared to todays version.
A "REPRODUCIBLE" EXAMPLE:
Unfortunately, I cannot create a minimal code example reproducing the
crash, but here is at least a simple way to reproduce it:
1. Make sure you run R v2.1.1 patched
2. Start R
3. install.packages("R.oo", contriburl="http://www.maths.lth.se/help/R";)
[This is a version built with R v2.1.0, because I cannot make the
package pass R CMD check on v2.1.1 because of the crashes]
4. Cut'n'paste the following example from ?Rdoc to the R prompt:
library(R.oo)
author <- "Henrik Bengtsson, \url{http://www.braju.com/R/}";
rdocFile <- system.file("misc", "Exception.R", package="R.oo")
file.show(rdocFile)
destPath <- tempdir()
Rdoc$compile(rdocFile, destPath=destPath)
rdFiles <- list.files(destPath, full.names=TRUE)
print(rdFiles)
file.show(rdFiles[1])
file.remove(rdFiles)
For me it crashes when it gets to the Rdoc$compile() line and Dr. Mingw
reports:
Rterm.exe caused an Access Violation at location 7c911e58 in module
ntdll.dll Reading from location 52474f52.

Sometimes it just give an error about an invalid regular expression;
then rerun the line for it to crash, e.g.
> Rdoc$compile(rdocFile, destPath=destPath)
Loading required package: tools
Error in regexpr(pattern, text, extended, fixed, useBytes) :
invalid regular expression '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Then redo the Rdoc$compile() line and R will crash.
Also, note that the regular expression pattern in the error report from
regexpr() about "invalid regular expression '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" is valid,
because
trying it in R you get
> regexpr("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "@classhierarchy")
[1] 1
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 15
I have also received messages about "invalid regular expression ''", but
I am sure I do not use empty regular expressions anywhere.
I am pretty sure it is not the R.oo package itself, because nothing much
has changed and the package has passed the R CMD check for many R
versions including R v2.1.0 patched (2005-05-09). The crashed to not
occur on the R v2.1.0 patched version.
Has anyone else noticed this? Can you reproduce the above, or is it
just my Windows installation? If I figure out more on this myself, I'll
get back to you.
My system is Windows XP Pro English SP2 with
