Below is a toy alt-rep string example, that generates N random strings:
https://gist.github.com/traversc/a48a504eb062554f2d6ff8043ca16f9c example: `x <- altrandomStrings(1e8)` `head(x)` [1] "2PN0bdwPY7CA8M06zVKEkhHgZVgtV1" "5PN2qmWqBlQ9wQj99nsQzldVI5ZuGX" ... `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 entirely. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
