Hello,
I am trying to make the as.POSIXct() calls in my R package (GGIR) backward
compatible with R 4.2.0 (from 2022) by always adding the origin =
"1970-01-01" argument to the as.POSIXct() calls. However, this causes a
substantial slow down when converting vectors of numeric time:
> time = Sys.time()> time = as.numeric(seq(time, time + 500000, by = 0.01))>
> print(system.time(A <- as.POSIXct(time))) user system elapsed
0 0 0 > print(system.time(B <- as.POSIXct(time,
origin = "1970-01-01"))) user system elapsed
0.153 0.326 0.505
I am using R 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.
In real use cases this equates to hours rather than minutes of run time.
The only somewhat ugly solution I can think of is to rewrite the code as
if-else-statement where the if-branch is run with older R versions and uses
the origin argument, while the else-branch is run with later R versions and
does not use the origin argument.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution?
Thanks, Vincent
