Am also having trouble with Rprof. I am using on R 2.15.2 on the Mac (Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)).
The example above without profiling takes around a minute to run: > z = 1 > for (i in 1:1e8) z = z+1/i > z [1] 19.9979 With profiling: > Rprof() > z = 1 > for (i in 1:1e8) z = z+1/i [INFO] Feb 4, 2013 12:45:20 PM - R stopped. Crashes within a second or so. This is consistent with the problem I'm having in my own code in which there is a reasonable amount of memory used (but not a massive amount). Any help much appreciated. Am happy to post this as a bug if that is now appropriate. regards Steven -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Rprof-causing-R-to-crash-tp4652846p4657482.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
