Dear developers, I came across with a bug while parsing Rd files.
Given is the following minimal Rd file: ---- \name{foo} \title{foo} \description{ #ifdef windows win #endifd #ifdef unix unix #endif } ---- By accident I have a typo at line 6, instead of having #endif I typed #endifd. If I run checkRd(), parse_Rd(), Rd2HTML(), or others including the command line "R CMD Rconv" R will freeze and the only chance I have is to kill R. As far as I can tell for checkRd() the problem is the internal function prepare_Rd() which runs for ever. Is there a way to avoid having that freezing behaviour? I'm on a Mac running Snow Leopard: R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_GB.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_GB.UTF-8/C/en_GB.UTF-8/en_GB.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] tools stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base Many thanks in advance, --Hans ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
