Empirical evidence is that the limit in S-Plus is 128. (The call manyArgs(N) constructs a .C with N arguments to a C routine (with 200 arguments)).
OK. I've modifed my patch to bring R's limits to 128, the same as in S-Plus, as well as noting that this is the limit in Foreign.Rd. I suppose that this limit is as good as any, and at least means that code written and tested with S-Plus won't have to be changed to work with R and vice versa (at least for this reason). The patch has been uploaded to ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming/dotcall_128.gz (I hope this will make it into R-1.3.1) -Greg -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
