Is there a way to suspend user interrupts for the duration of a function call? There is a point in one of my packages where values are being written to a Filehash database. If the user is unlucky enough to send an interrupt while this code is active, then they have to:
- Hunt down a lock file and dispose of it before the package will work again. - Possibly trash the Filehash database and start over if the interrupt caused R to leave the database file in a corrupted state. Is there something analogous to the C macros BEGIN_SUSPEND_INTERRUPTS/END_SUSPEND_INTERRUPTS that I can use at the R level to delay interrupts until after critical code has executed? If not, would it work to move the function call into a C function that uses `eval` inside a block protected by BEGIN_SUSPEND_INTERRUPTS? -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Ignore-user-interrupts-tp4321252p4321252.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
