The following code crashes after about 300 iterations on my x86_64-w64-mingw32
machine on R 3.5.2 --vanilla.
Others have duplicated this (see
https://github.com/tidyverse/magrittr/issues/190 if necessary), but I don't
know how machine/OS-dependent it may be.
If it doesn't crash for you, please try increasing the length of the x vector.
Substituting the commented-out line for the one below it works correctly
(prints out 1:1000 and ends normally) every time.
x <- 1:200000
y <- rep(letters[1:5], length(x) / 5L)
for (i in 1:1000) {
# x[y == 'a'] <- x[y == 'b']
x <- `[<-`(x, y == 'a', x[y == 'b'])
cat(i, '')
}
cat('\n')
The point of using this syntax is to make it work better with pipes, but the
errors occur without pipes or magrittr.
Thank you for your help!
