Dear expeRts, The following code leads to R being killed (under Mac OS X 10.11.4; R installed from source; also happened under a previous unstable version):
m <- matrix(0, 100000, 100000) I expected an error that a vector of this size could not be allocated. Besides the above (a bug?), how can I find out beforehand whether or not a square matrix can be allocated? Cheers, Marius PS: Here is the sessionInfo() output: R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0 (64-bit) Running under: OS X 10.11.4 (El Capitan) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
