Hello, I believe I noticed two bugs in rhdf5. I'm using R 3.3.3 on Windows64, 2.18.0 linking to C-library HDF5 1.8.7
1. problem: h5read(..., bit64conversion='double') converts int32 columns to double as well. I did not expect that the option would affect 64bit integer types only. Is this intentional? Is it documented? 2. problem: AFAIK -2^63 of type int64 is not a number, it encodes NA. I would expect that even with bit64conversion='double' or 'int', this special value silently becomes NA. (Or am I wrong? Is this convention generally accepted?) The warnings "integer precision lost" or "integer overflow" (respectively), that are triggered by values that are in abs >= 2^53 or >= 2^31 (resp.), should not be triggered by this special value. Thank you all for the package, Stepan Kasal _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
