[BUGZILLA #21] Restoring large image files #238

Closed MichaelChirico closed 4 years ago

MichaelChirico commented 4 years ago

From: Martyn Plummer <plummer@<::CENSORED -- SEE ORIGINAL ON BUGZILLA::>> [This is not so much a bug report as a request for idiot-proofing. However, you did ask us to pick nits...]

If a memory image is too large to be restored, because the vector heap or cons heap is too small, it would be better if R exited immediately (i.e. call "R_Suicide" instead of "error"). This would force the user to specify either the "--no-restore" option or the appropriate "-n N -v N" options, depending whether they want the saved image or not.

At the moment, when I get this message, I exit manually. But I always get the "Save workspace image?" prompt. This is a bit pointless as there is nothing to save and there is a risk that I might accidently press the "y" key, overwriting my .RData file. I haven't done this yet, but with my record it's only a matter of time.

From: "Michelle McPherson" <michelle.mcpherson@<::CENSORED -- SEE ORIGINAL ON BUGZILLA::>> PARTS: 2 I am having the same problem with start-up as Martyn Plummer was (ID#21).

I have downloaded rw1070 twice from the University of Wisconsin, and each time, after using the program once, I was unable to restart the program. The message I am getting reads "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData".

My OS is Windows 2000. I am trying to save small data files and a few glmmPQL models.

If you can tell me how to avoid this problem, I would appreciate it.

thanks very much, Michelle
