Using todays freshly downloaded compiled version of R-2.10.0 beta
let me pose this question once again:
myconn<-textConnection("print(11*11)")
source(myconn)
produces
[1] 121
Warning message:
In source(myconn) : argument 'encoding = "native.enc"' will be ignored
So I get a warning about a default parameter value I did not use myself.
This is somewhat strange.
Up to 2.9.2 this warning did not show up,
and 2.9.2 also has the encoding parameter.
source(myconn,encoding="unknown")
does not produce a warning.
Will it remain like this?
I am asking because then I have to adapt a certain mechanism in RExcel.
I spent a little time looking into this yesterday, and it appears to
have shown up quite a while ago (it was there in July builds, for
instance). I will eventually track it down, but certainly not for 2.10.0.
Generally bugs are easier to find when they're fresh, which is why we
ask people to try out the R-devel builds. In this case, it's obvious
how to fix the bug, but I'd rather not do that until I see what the
change that caused it was intended to do: I don't want to undo that.
