Hi, Currently object.size() is not very useful on environments as it always returns 56 bytes, no matter how big the environment is:
env1 <- new.env() object.size(env1) # 56 bytes env2 <- new.env(hash=TRUE, size=75000000L) object.size(env2) # 56 bytes env3 <- list2env(list(a=runif(25000000), L=LETTERS)) object.size(env3) # 56 bytes This makes it pretty useless on reference class instances and other objects that use environments internally for caching or other purposes. What about changing this and make it return something more meaningful?
