Hi, I have a C function (called via .C) which returns (by writing into buffers) some values of known (or fixed) length, all of these are numerical so I can allocate storage for them via as.double() and as.integer().
However, there is a potential error message that I would like to return into a char * buffer [1]. How can I allocate it in R (eg something similar to as.integer(), but taking the number of characters). I would like to avoid .Call if possible, this is the only tricky argument. Thanks, Tamas [1] I would of course use strncpy to avoid overflows. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
