[Rd] Rscript temp file

2008-02-15 Thread Vadim Organovich
Hi, It seems that Rscript creates a temporary file to store the commands passed with the -e option, under normal circumstances the temp file gets deleted at some point. Here is an example of a call I use: q:/R/R-2.6.1/bin/Rscript.exe -e .libPaths(\q:/R/vogranovich/library\); params -

[Rd] forcing gc() to do its work

2008-02-16 Thread Vadim Organovich
Hi, At some points of my computations I want gc() to try really hard and collect as many objects as possible even though the triggering limits are not hit. Will it help if I temporarily set the limits to some small values, call gc() and then reset them back to their original values? What

[Rd] clean-up actions after non-local exits

2008-04-14 Thread Vadim Organovich
Dear R-devel, Some time ago I started a thread that boiled down to clean-up actions after non-local exits in R, see below. I wonder if there has been any progress on this? R-ext 2.6.1 doesn't say much on the subject. How, for example, do people deal with a situation where their C (C++)

Dear R-devel, My g++ complains about the first argument to Rprintf being non-const char *. For example when compiling the line Rprintf(hello world\n); the following warning is emitted: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' Is there a reason for the non-const? It is

[Rd] names of return value of median

2008-08-20 Thread Vadim Organovich
Dear R-devel, The median() function assigns a name, NA, to its return value if the return value is NA and the input vector has names, otherwise the names attribute is NULL. This looks strange and inconsistent with the behavior of mean(). This inconsistency becomes a problem when median() is

[Rd] row.names in data.frame with row.names NULL

2008-08-20 Thread Vadim Organovich
Dear R-devel, It appears that data.frame ignores row.names=NULL argument if it can guess the names from the first column. This behavior seems to contradict what the help page says, see the last sentence: If row names are not supplied in the call to 'data.frame', the row names are
