I don't think that's a bug. source() uses eval(), and eval() creates a new function-like context frame. In a way expecting `break` to work inside source() is like expecting `break` to cross stack frames: my_break <- function() break repeat(my_break()) Lionel > On 23 août 2017, at 09:17,

oops, I should have tried it: expr <- quote(break) repeat(eval(expr)) So eval() has hybrid semantics where `break` has more reach than return(), weird. expr <- quote(return()) repeat(eval(expr)) # infloop Lionel > On 23 août 2017, at 09:24, Tomas Kalibera wrote: > > It is

Fixed in 73112. If you needed to run this code in unpatched versions of R, you can disable the problematic compiler optimization in the loop for instance by adding "eval(NULL)" to the body of the loop. However, please do not forget to remove this for future versions of R and specifically do no

Dear list, R-core, The documentation of stats::stl explicitly refers to the paper by Cleveland[1] to explain the parameters. However, the description is confusing, with two descriptions seeming to refer to the same parameter in the paper. s.window: [...] the loess window for seasonal extraction,

Hi, I have sent this message to this list the July, 7th. It was about a problem in MASS package. Until now there is no change in the devel version. As the problem occurs in a package and not in the R-core, I don't know if the message should have been sent here. Anyway, I have added a copy to P
