Hi Duncan,
I think all ESS users don't use history() because ESS calls R
with "--no-readline" (Unix)
or "--ess" (Windows & Cygwin)
I'd wish that in that case, and probably also in BATCH mode,
timestamp() should write the time stamp prefixed by "##" to the
"R console" (to R's stdout); when people are using ESS properly, then
rather than wanting a history, they save the R's buffer ("*R*") as
"R transcript" (file typically ending with ".Rt" or ".Rout")
and it makes much sense to have a time stampe entry in that file when
others would want an entry in the history.
BTW, after applying your patch, for me, compilation ends
prematurely with
gcc -I. -I../../src/include -I../../../R/src/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O3 -pedantic -Wall -Wno-comment
