I don't follow the terminology here, but in R you can load a namespace without making the exports visible, which sounds like what you are asking. In R `loading a package' means making its objects visible from the top-level scope. -- Brian D.

[Rd] Memory leakage/violation?
Hi, I've spotted a possible memory leakage/violation in the latest R v2.1.1 patched and R v2.2.0dev on Windows XP Pro SP2 Eng. I first caught it deep down in a nested svd algorithm when subtracting a double 'c' from a integer vector 'a' where both had finite values but when assigning 'a <- a - c' would report NaNs whereas (a-c) alone would not. Different runs with the identical data would introduce NaNs at random positions, but not all the time. Troubleshooting is after a couple of hours still at v0.5, but here is a script that generates the strange behavior on the above R setups. I let the script speak for itself. Note that both the script 'strange.R' and the data 'strange.RData' is online too, see code below. People on other systems (but also on Windows), could you please try it and see if you can reproduce what I get.

This should work with GNU Fortran. However, that limits the availability of your package to GNU compilers only.

[Rd] .Call and Segmentation Fault
Hello to everyone! I use .Call to call a C function without arguments wich calls a fortran optimization package. My C function uses others C and Fortran functions and it works fine when I call it from a main() in a C program. But when I call it from R with .Call("name_of_the_c_function"), R gives me some weird output. This weird output is a worng answer to my optimization problem (sometimes after thousands iteractions, what does not occur when called from C) or a segmentation fault error. The kind of output depends on the machine I am using. At home I got a segmentation faul, in university I got those wrong values. I tried a memcheck in C and Fortran binaries, but everything seems allright except by 2 missing free() calls (wich I don`t think might be causing this error). I compiled my C and Fortran files with R CMD SHARED and then linked all the .o with the same command. I also tried compiling all the needed object files with -fPIC and -shared and then using R CMD SHARED to link everything, but I got the same problem. The only thing I do in R is the following: dyn.load("mylib.so") .Call("name_of_the_c_function") Can someone hellp me with this? Thanks!

Re: [Rd] .Call and Segmentation Fault
Are you returning a SEXP? .Call (unlike .C) expects a SEXP return value. It sounds like you're returning garbage and R is choking on that when it tries to use the address as a SEXP.

[Rd] wchar and wstring.
Hello all, I am writing an R interface to some C++ files which make use of std::wstring classes for internationalization. Previously (when I wanted to make R strings from C++ std::strings), I would do something like this to construct a string in R from the results of the parse. SET_VECTOR_ELT(vals, i++, mkString(header.GetHeader().c_str())); However, now the call header.GetHeader().c_str() returns a pointer to an array of wchar_t's. I was going to use wcstombs() to convert the wchar_t* to char*, but I wanted to see if there was a similar function in R for the mkString function which I had initially used which deals with wchar_ts as opposed to chars. Also, since I have no experience with the wctombs() function I wanted to ask if anyone knew if this will handle the internationilzation issues from within R. As always thank you for the help. jim __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
[Rd] .Call and Segmentation Fault
Hello to everyone! I use .Call to call a C function without arguments wich calls a fortran optimization package. My C function uses others C and Fortran functions and it works fine when I call it from a main() in a C program. But when I call it from R with .Call("name_of_the_c_function"), R gives me some weird output. This weird output is a worng answer to my optimization problem (sometimes after thousands iteractions, what does not occur when called from C) or a segmentation fault error. The kind of output depends on the machine I am using. At home I got a segmentation faul, in university I got those wrong values. I tried a memcheck in C and Fortran binaries, but everything seems allright except by 2 missing free() calls (wich I don`t think might be causing this error). I compiled my C and Fortran files with R CMD SHARED and then linked all the .o with the same command. I also tried compiling all the needed object files with -fPIC and -shared and then using R CMD SHARED to link everything, but I got the same problem. The only thing I do in R is the following: dyn.load("mylib.so") .Call("name_of_the_c_function") Can someone hellp me with this? Thanks!

"loop" is short for "loopback". A loop or loopback device is one that just returns the data sent to it. The prototypical applications are the same sort of applications text connections are used for: data transformation, in this case of raw binary data, rather than formatted text data. In my case, I needed to interpret a "long raw" column from an Oracle table, that consisted of packed single precision floating point numbers. The caTools package on CRAN includes less capable raw2bin and bin2raw functions, used to implement Base64 encoders and decoders. -- Dave __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
