Dear R Developers, There is an interesting issue related to "reticulate" R package which discusses how to convert Python's non-32 bit integers to R, which has had quite an exhaustive discussion:
https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate/issues/323 Python seems to handle integers differently from R, and is dependant on the system arquitecture: On 32 bit systems uses 32-bit integers, and on 64-bit systems uses 64-bit integers. So my question is: As regards R's C Interface, how costly would it be to convert INTSXP from 32 bits to 64 bits using C, on 64 bits Systems? Do the benefits surpass the costs? And should such development be handled from within R Core / Ordinary Members , or it shall be left to package maintainers? Thank you! :) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
