An example implementation: https://git.io/vroxm With this patch, mkChar(NULL), mkCharCE(NULL, ce) would return NA_STRING rather than segfault at strlen(NULL). This automatically fixes mkString(NULL) as well which wraps mkChar (See Rinlinedfuns.h). ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
