Re: [Rd] C API to get numrow of data frame
The simplest case would be:
int num_rows = Rf_length(VECTOR_ELT(dataframe, 0));
int num_columns = Rf_length(dataframe);
There may be edge cases for which this doesn't work; would need to
look into how the dim primitive is implemented to be sure.

Any help is very appreciated.

Re: [Rd] C API to get numrow of data frame
I think it is actually better to check the length of the row names. In case
the data frame has zero columns. (FIXME, of course.)

Re: [Rd] C API to get numrow of data frame
The Rf_length(dataframe) will provide the length of row names . So it
should be checked first. I found one edge case now
My dataframe has 0 rows and 0 columns
int num_rows = Rf_length(VECTOR_ELT(dataframe, 0)); returns 1
,in stead of 0 . Not sure why.
Thanks

Re: [Rd] C API to get numrow of data frame
I didn't look at the names because I believe that would be incorrect
if the row names were stored internally in the compact form.
See ?.set_row_names (hat tip, Tim Hesterberg who showed me this years ago) :
'row.names' can be stored internally in compact form.
'.set_row_names(n)' generates that form for automatic row names of
length 'n', to be assigned to 'attr(a data frame, row.names)'.
'.row_names_info' gives information on the internal form of the
row names for a data frame: for details of what information see
the argument 'type'.
The function I wrote obviously doesn't work for 0 row or 0 column
data.frames, you need to check for that.

Re: [Rd] C API to get numrow of data frame
The safest way is to check the length of the row.names attribute, e.g.
length(getAttrib(df, R_RowNamesSymbol)).
This protects you from both data.frames with zero columns, as well as
corrupted data.frames containing columns with different lengths, since
by definition the number of rows in a data.frame is defined by its
row.names attribute. However, R will internally un-collapse a
collapsed row.names on this getAttrib call, which is probably
undesired for very large data.frames.
One way of getting around this is calling .row_names_info from R, e.g.
(modulo my errors):
int df_nrows(SEXP s) {
if (!Rf_inherits(s, data.frame)) Rf_error(expecting a data.frame);
SEXP two = PROTECT(Rf_ScalarInteger(2));
SEXP call = PROTECT( Rf_lang3(
Rf_install(.row_names_info),
s,
two
) );
SEXP result = PROTECT(Rf_eval(call, R_BaseEnv));
int output = INTEGER(result)[0];
UNPROTECT(3);
return output;
}
More ideally (?), such a function could be added to util.c and
exported by R, e.g. (again, modulo my errors):
int df_nrows(SEXP s) {
if (!inherits(s, data.frame)) error(expecting a data.frame);
SEXP t = getAttrib0(s, R_RowNamesSymbol);
if (isInteger(t) INTEGER(t)[0] == NA_INTEGER LENGTH(t) == 2)
return abs(INTEGER(t)[1]);
else
return LENGTH(t);
}
or even incorporated into the already available 'nrows' function.
Although there is probably someone out there depending on 'nrows'
returning the number of columns for their data.frame...
Cheers,
Kevin
