Non-blocking Eval
Hello, For non-blocking access to R through sockets, you should also look at svSockets. It may be more appropriate than RServer for feeding data to R, while you have another process running in R that do smething like updating a graph, or some other calculations. Best, Philippe Grosjean

Sorry I phrased that badly. What I'm trying to do is asynchronously add data to R, i.e. a program will periodically dump some readings to the Rserver and then later on another program will run some analysis scripts on them. I have managed to add the data via CMD_detachedVoidEval as you suggested. How exactly do I go about attaching to the session again? I know it involves some form of session key that comes back from the detach call, but what from does it take? And how do I use this? Thanks AgainMartin

Hello, I'm currently working with the C++ version of the Rserve Client as part of a student project. Is there an implementation of a non-blocking interface to Rserve in C++? I can find one via the Java JRI but no equivalent in C++.
(Please note that stats-rosuda-devel is the correct list for this.) I'm not quite sure what you mean, because in JRI there is idleEval() which is non-blocking in the sense that it doesn't do anything if R is busy but that doesn't apply to Rserve as by definition R cannot be busy there. There is no non-blocking interface to JRI - all calls are synchronous. If your question is whether you can start an evaluation in Rserve and not wait for the result then there is CMD_detachedVoidEval in Rserve, but the C++ client only implements a subset of the API which does not include that -- however, it is trivial to implement (just send a request with CMD_detachedVoidEval as there is nothing to decode). Cheers, Simon
