I have a toy alt-rep string package that generates randomly seeded strings.
example: library(altstringisode) x <- altrandomStrings(1e8) head(x) [1] "2PN0bdwPY7CA8M06zVKEkhHgZVgtV1" "5PN2qmWqBlQ9wQj99nsQzldVI5ZuGX" ... etc object.size(1e8) Object.size will call the set_altstring_Elt_method for every single element, materializing (slowly) every element of the vector. This is a problem mostly in R-studio since object.size is called automatically, defeating the purpose of alt-rep. Is there a way to avoid the problem of forced materialization in rstudio? PS: Is there a way to tell if a post has been received by the mailing list? How long does it take to show up in the archives? ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
