r-help, The R manual lists two types of memory: transient and user-controlled. If I have transient blocks reachable from the globals only by traversal through user-controlled blocks, will they be correctly preserved?
Secondly, what are the ways to mark user controlled blocks as "roots" for the garbage collector, so that transient blocks they reference stay uncollected? So far I can only deduce that as long as the answer to my first question is yes, I can bind an arbitrary symbol to them in the global environment. Is this the best way?
