I don't see the cost of doing so paying off.
The cost seems rather small. For the "if" block that is tagged /* columns */
in the do_colsum() function (src/main/array.c), that would give something
like:
if (OP == 0 || OP == 1) { /* columns */
int ans_type = (type == REALSXP || OP == 1) ? REALSXP : INTSXP;
int ina = type == INTSXP ? NA_INTEGER : NA_LOGICAL;
PROTECT(ans = allocVector(ans_type, p));
for (j = 0; j < p; j++) {
double rsum = 0.0;
int isum = 0;
switch (type) {
case REALSXP:
rx = REAL(x) + n*j;
for (i = cnt = 0; i < n; i++, rx++) {
if (!ISNAN(*rx)) {cnt++; rsum += *rx;}
else if (keepNA) {rsum = NA_REAL; break;}
}
if (OP == 1) {
if (cnt == 0 || ISNAN(rsum))
REAL(ans)[j] = NA_REAL;
else
REAL(ans)[j] = rsum / cnt;
} else
REAL(ans)[j] = rsum;
break;
case INTSXP: case LGLSXP:
ix = (type == INTSXP ? INTEGER(x) : LOGICAL(x)) + n*j;
for (i = cnt = 0; i < n; i++, ix++) {
if (*ix != ina) {cnt++; isum += *ix;}
else if (keepNA) {isum = NA_INTEGER; break;}
}
if (OP == 1) {
if (cnt == 0 || isum == NA_INTEGER)
REAL(ans)[j] = NA_REAL;
else
REAL(ans)[j] = ((double) isum) / cnt;
} else
INTEGER(ans)[j] = isum;
break;
default:
/* we checked the type above, but be sure */
UNIMPLEMENTED_TYPEt("do_colsum", type);
}
}
}
So now you have 42 lines instead of 37 in the current code.
Then do something similar for the "if" block tagged /* rows */.
Basically the new code would not be more complicated than the
current code.
In the end rowSums()/colSums() will do the _right_ thing i.e.
they'll preserve the 'integer' storage mode, and, by doing so, will
behave consistently with the sum() function.
BTW since the LGLSXP type is supported then the "'x' must be numeric"
error msg at the beginning of the do_colsum() function is inappropriate.
Cheers,

storage.mode is really only important if you are passing arguments to
compiled code.
If you are passing to compiled code, you really need to ensure the
storage mode is what you think it is, anyway.

Subject: [Rd] rowSums()/colSums() don't preserve the 'integer' storage
mode
Hi,
Wouldn't that make sense to have rowSums()/colSums() to preserve the
storage mode?
m <- matrix(1:15, nrow=5)
> storage.mode(m)
[1] "integer"
> storage.mode(sum(m))
[1] "integer"
> storage.mode(rowSums(m))
[1] "double" <------------------- surprising!
Cheers,
H.
