Hello, Pass by reference appears to be a topic which comes up from time to time, but I wasn't able to find something in the R-help archives which tells how to accomplish it.
I have a problem that you may have seen before -- R runs out of memory when processing large matrices. Part of the problem for me is that I am using some large matrices as function arguments, and these are modified, which leads to allocating copies of the matrices. I would like to do the modification "in place" so that a copy is not required. Thanks for any light you can shed on this. If you're tempted to tell me "you don't really want to do that" -- let me save you the trouble. You are so very right! Indeed I don't want to have pass by reference variables. OTOH I don't want R to come to a dead halt at an inconvenient time either. Thanks for your help, Robert Dodier ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
