Hi,
After I create a long list e.g. with
x <- vector(mode="list", length=3e9)
many bad things start to happen e.g. some things stop working with a
spurious error message:
gc()
# Error in gc() :
# long vectors not supported yet:
/home/hpages/src/R-3.3.2/src/main/memory.c:1137
x_lens <- lengths(x)
# Error in lengths(x) :
# long vectors not supported yet:
/home/hpages/src/R-3.3.2/src/main/memory.c:1668
But then some of them work again:
gc()
# used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb)
# Ncells 57046 3.1 368000 19.7 350000 18.7
# Vcells 138060 1.1 4320596678 32963.6 4500397915 34335.4
while others still fail but now with a different error message:
x_lens <- lengths(x)
# Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion /
options(expressions=)?
etc...
The more I go, the more weird things I see so clearly my session
got corrupted. Finally, and not too surprisingly, after playing a
little bit more, my session eventually crashed.
Thanks,
H.
