Re: [Rd] rowSums()/colSums() don't preserve the 'integer' storage mode

2008-07-16 Thread Bill.Venables
I don't see the cost of doing so paying off. storage.mode is really only important if you are passing arguments to compiled code. If you are passing to compiled code, you really need to ensure the storage mode is what you think it is, anyway. Bill Venables. -Original Message- From:

[Rd] rowSums()/colSums() don't preserve the 'integer' storage mode

2008-07-16 Thread Herve Pages
Hi, Wouldn't that make sense to have rowSums()/colSums() to preserve the storage mode? m <- matrix(1:15, nrow=5) > storage.mode(m) [1] "integer" > storage.mode(sum(m)) [1] "integer" > storage.mode(rowSums(m)) [1] "double" <--- surprising! Cheers, H. _

Markus, That's interesting. I'm using snow_0.3-0 that's the version on CRAN. I see that on the maintainer's website newer versions are available... I just tried snow_0.3-3 and as you said it actually works fine! Thanks a lot for the help, that's exactly what I was looking for! // Giuseppe
