Dear R-devel,
Is there a way to find the size in bytes of a save()
command --before-- the file has been saved?
If not, can anyone point me to some resources on XDR
so I can find a way to calculate it?
Thanks,

I think this would be good if we only needed a rough
estimate, but we need something precise.

You could try
object.size(obj)
which gives the size of the internal representation. The external
representation should not be much larger. If

I don't think so, though you can guess: integers are stored in 4
bytes, floats in 8, etc.
