I just tried it on 2.9.0 on the Windows GUI (RGui.exe)
and saw similar problems. When printing to the
command window, with either print(val) or show(val) it took
a very long time and put $'s at the ends of the lines
(indicating that there was text beyond the edge of the window).
I used sink() to put the output into a file and then print() and
show() acted quickly. The resulting file had 119 character
lines, consisting mainly of trailing blanks:
> readLines("c:/temp/val.txt") # output of print(val);show(val);str(val)
[1] " [,1]
"
[2] "[1,]
"
[3] " [,2]
"
[4] "[1,]
"
[5] " [,1]
"
[6] "[1,]
"
[7] " [,2]
"
[8] "[1,]
"
[9] "List of 2"
[10] " $ : cplx NA"
[11] " $ : cplx NA"
[12] " - attr(*, \"dim\")= int [1:2] 1 2"
> nchar(readLines("c:/temp/val.txt"))
[1] 119 119 119 119 119 119 119 119 9 12 12 32
On Linux, using yesterday's 2.9.0, valgrind shows lots
of 'depends on uninitialized value' problems that could
explain the Linux-Windows difference in behavior:
