It does not so on my R 2.10.1 installation. In the R-Shell I get: ============================== > length(c()) [1] 0 > ============================== So c() is vec of length 0. When I feed my readjpeg() with c() as filename arg, testing with: ==================================================== if( LENGTH( filename_sexp ) < 1 ) { error("LENGTH( filename_sexp ) < 1"); //error("filename can't be vector of length 0"); } else { error("LENGTH( filename_sexp ) is not < 1"); } ==================================================== I got: Error in readjpeg(filename = c()) : LENGTH( filename_sexp ) is not < 1 You can explain why?
