There are many experts on this topic. I'll keep this short. Newer Fortran Languages allow for call by value, but call by reference is the typical and historically, the only approach (there was a time when you could change the value of 1 to 2!). C "only" calls by value except that the value can b

[Rd] .Internal(inspect(x)) gives overly verbose output for reference classes

2012-03-07 Thread Richard Cotton
Even for an extremely simple instance of a reference class x <- setRefClass("x") y <- x$new() calling the internal inspect function .Internal(inspect(y)) produces enough output that it takes several minutes to print to the console.  (Actually I gave up and terminated the command after ~10 mins.

No my examples are what I meant. My point was that a function, say cos(), can act like it does call-by-value but conserve memory when it can if it can distinguish between the case cx <- cos(x=runif(n)) # no allocation needed, use the input space for the return value and and the case x <-
