[R] RSPerl threads

2008-04-08 Thread J Greenbaum
Hi all,

I'm trying to use the RSPerl module in a script that uses threads.  I am
able to call R functions without a problem when I don't use threads.
However, using threads, I get varying errors depending on how I call the R
functions.  If I call the R::initR function in the boss thread and then
try to call R functions from a worker thread, I get the following error:

Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit
Caught error in R::call()

However, if I move the use declarations for R  RReferences to the worker
thread, along with the initR call, I get this:

Fatal error: R home directory is not defined

I've attached some code for your reference.  Is there any way to get this
module working with Perl threads?  Thanks in advance for your help.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

#use R;
#use RReferences;
#R::initR(--silent);

use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Thread::Queue;

our $queue : shared = Thread::Queue-new;
our $hold : shared;

my $thr = threads-new (\command_runner);

$hold =1;
$queue-enqueue(ls);
while ($hold) {
sleep(1);
}
$queue-enqueue(end);

$thr-join();

# Thread for processing functions
sub command_runner {

use R;
use RReferences;
R::initR(--silent);

my $run = 1;
# run until return
while ($run) {
# This call will block until the main thread sends the job
my $job = $queue-dequeue;

print j: $job\n;

if ($job eq ls){
R::ls();
} elsif ($job eq end) {
$run = 0
}
{ lock $hold; $hold = 0; }
}

}

[R] RSPerl threads II

My previous post seems to have been eaten by the server because of
embedded code.  You can now find that code at:
