[Rd] Empty package skeleton

2013-04-14 Thread Renaud Gaujoux
Hi, I know this has been reported/asked before ( http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e15/devel/11/10/0831.html) but it would still be just nice to have a fix for the not user-friendly fact that one cannot create a completely empty package skeleton (see previous post for a suggested patch). In the s

[Rd] R 3.0.0 memory use

2013-04-14 Thread Tim Hesterberg
I did some benchmarking of data frame code, and it appears that R 3.0.0 is far worse than earlier versions of R in terms of how many large objects it allocates space for, for data frame operations - creation, subscripting, subscript replacement. For a data frame with n rows, it makes either 2 or 4

There were a couple of bug fixes to somewhat obscure compound assignment related bugs that required bumping up internal reference counts. It's possible that one or more of these are responsible. If so it is unavoidable for now, but it's worth finding out for sure. With some stripped down test exam

When I change the data set size, the "extra allocations" do not change in size. This supports Luke and Martin's diagnosis. The extra allocations are either 2 or 4 allocations each of size 80040 240048 320040 Details (you may skip): (Fresh session of R 3.0.0) > y <- 1:10^4 + 0.0 > Rprofmem("temp

Re: [Rd] package file permissions problem R 3.0.0/Windows OS

2013-04-14 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
POSIX-style execute permission isn't a Windows concept, so it was fortuitous this ever worked. One possibility is that Cygwin was involved, and a Cygwin emulation got set when tar unpacked the file and converted back to the tar representation when Cygwin tar produced the tarball. (The tar in R
