Re: [R] Rprof causing R to crash

Hi there, Thanks for the quick feedback. There is no further info on the reason for the crash - R just stops. The for loop is there just to generate the error. I'm following a previous example that others couldn't reproduce. I need Rprof to work on a different set of functions that I haven't

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)

Uwe, I am unfortunately not able to upgrade to R 2.15.2 right now, but I have seen a similar problem with several older R versions. If you want to test with a shorter script, you can try the lines below. These provoke a crash from a fresh R session on my machine (R 2.15.1 Windows 7):
