Re: [Rd] valgrind complains about regex.c (PR#8043)

Did you compile R without optimization? Such reads are often the result of read-aheads produced by the optimizer in an attempt to keep pipelines full (and are harmless). On an un-optimized build of R I am unable to reproduce this. (I also was unable to reproduce it on my optimized build of 2.

[Rd] valgrind complains about regex.c (PR#8043)

I think I am using objects according to the man page. This seems to be a valid regular expression. But whether I know what I'm doing or no, it still shouldn't be doing what valgrind seems to be saying it's doing. (IMHO) -- start of script -- Script started on Mon 01 Aug 2005 02:09

Re: [Rd] fifo on Windows

fifo already works on UNIX, I assume, so it seems its already the situation that fifos are supported on some machines running R but not on others. If they were supported on those Windows platforms that can handle them then that would simply increase the proportion of machines running R that can

[Rd] fifo on Windows

Are there any plans to support fifo on Windows? On my XP system ("R version 2.1.1, 2005-06-23") R> capabilities("fifo") gives FALSE. Note that Windows does support named pipes as shown in the utility: http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/fwu/pipeslot.zip _

[Rd] Follow-Up: R on FC4

Dear List, A few weeks ago a discussion took place regarding Fedora Core 4 and compiling R on that platform using the new version 4 of gcc and its gfortran compiler. gcc was recently updated to 4.0.1 on FC4 (4.0.1-5 in Red Hat Land) so I thought I'd give compiling R a go on my laptop which needed

[Rd] Most accurate timing?

For a graphics display, I'd like a high resolution timer, something like Sys.time(), but it is only accurate to a second. Is there a clock in R that gives a finer value? Duncan Murdoch __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailma
