Hello, I've (by somewhat understanding serialize.c) understood how a vector of type numeric/char/raw/logical are serialized, assuming they have no attributes (e.g no attributes(x)=NULL).
I assumed for lists, the content of the list is written first and then the names attribute. However nested lists this is not always true. The names are written but the header is not the same (for the innermost list, 'names' is written, but not so thereafter) I didn't quite understand WriteItem in serialize.c, could someone explain what happens in the case of a list whose only attribute is names and whose elements are vectors which are either a)char b)raw c)logical d)numeric or d)lists of these Thank you Regards Saptarshi ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
