This is a request to increase MAX_NUM_DLLS in Rdynload.c in from 100 to 500.
On line 131 of Rdynload.c, changing #define MAX_NUM_DLLS 100 to #define MAX_NUM_DLLS 500 In development of the mlr package, there have been several episodes in the past where we have had to break up unit tests because of the "maximum number of DLLs reached" error. This error has been an inconvenience that is going to keep happening as the package continues to grow. Is there more than meets the eye with this error or would everything be okay if the above line changes? Would that have a larger effect in other parts of R? As R grows, we are likely to see more 'meta-packages' such as the Hadley-verse, caret, mlr, etc. need an increasing amount of DLLs loaded at any point in time to conduct effective unit tests. If MAX_NUM_DLLS is set to 100 for a very particular reason than I apologize, but if it is possible to increase MAX_NUM_DLLS it would at least make the testing at mlr much easier. I understand you are all very busy and thank you for your time.
