Dear all,
I am trying to benchmark code that occasionally prints on the screen
and I want to
suppress the printing. Is there an idiom for this?
If I do
sink(tempfile)
microbenchmark(...)
sink()
then I'll be also measuring the costs of writing to tempfile. I could
also sink to /dev/null, which is probably fast, but that is not
portable.
Is there a better solution? Is writing to a textConnection() better?
Thanks, Best,
Gabor
