Following Simon's suggestion of replacing printf with Rprintf throughout the source code R CMD check now complains less than before, but it still complains...
I used the following two BASH lines to replace printf find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.c' -exec sed -i 's\printf\Rprintf\' {} \; find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.c' -exec sed -i 's\fRprintf\fprintf\' {} \; and using grep I have confirmed that only fprintf and Rprintf remain in the code. the original warning (when printf was in the code) was [QUOTE : ORIGINAL R CMD check WARNING] R CMD check foobar_1.7.5.tar.gz [LOTS OF '...OK' CHECK REPORTS REMOVED FOR BREVITY] * checking compiled code ... NOTE File '/home/david/foobar/package/foobar.Rcheck/foobar/libs/foobar.so': Found 'putchar', possibly from 'putchar' (C) Object: 'foobar.o' Found 'puts', possibly from 'printf' (C), 'puts' (C) Object: 'foobar.o' Compiled code should not call functions which might terminate R nor write to stdout/stderr instead of to the console. [end QUOTE : ORIGINAL R CMD check WARNING] now printf is no longer in the code the warning message is [QUOTE : ORIGINAL R CMD check WARNING] R CMD check foobar_1.7.6.tar.gz [LOTS OF '...OK' CHECK REPORTS REMOVED FOR BREVITY] * checking compiled code ... NOTE File '/home/david/foobar/package/foobar.Rcheck/foobar/libs/foobar.so': Found 'puts', possibly from 'printf' (C), 'puts' (C) Object: 'foobar.o' Compiled code should not call functions which might terminate R nor write to stdout/stderr instead of to the console. [end QUOTE : ORIGINAL R CMD check WARNING] Which is better than before, but still not clean. Both the following lines return 0 hits grep printf *.c|grep -v Rprintf|grep -v fprintf grep puts *.c Is there some way to detect what has caused this warning about puts? It's not a call to 'puts' or 'printf' because there are none. many thanks David -- David Pleydell, INRA, UMR-1351 CMAEE, Domaine Duclos, Prise D'eau, 97122 Petit Bourg, Guadeloupe dpleyd...@antilles.inra.fr pleyd...@cirad.fr Tel +33 5 90 25 54 42 Fax +33 5 90 94 03 96 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
