Overview

About

Maintained by Henrik BengtssonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

List environments are environments that have list-like properties. For instance, the elements of a list environment are ordered and can be accessed and iterated over using index subsetting, e.g. 'x <- listenv(a = 1, b = 2); for (i in seq_along(x)) x[[i]] <- x[[i]] ^ 2; y <- as.list(x)'.

Changes in 1.1.0

Significant Changes

parse_env_subset() on x[NULL] and x[1, NULL] now selects zero elements - it used to select all elements.
parse_env_subset() on x[[]], x[[NULL]], x[[integer(0)]] now gives an error as R does for lists - it used to select all elements.

Bug Fixes

Growing a list environment with dimensions, e.g. length(x) <- n, x[[n]] <- value, x[n] <- value, and x$name <- value, where n > length(x) or name is a new element, did not drop the dimensions, as done for lists, which left x in an invalid state.
x[[i, j]] on a list environment with dimensions gave an obscure error when the subscripts referred to more than one element.

x[[name]] where length(name) != 1 gave an obscure error.
x[[NA]], x[[NA_integer_]] and x[[NA_real_]] gave an obscure error instead of returning NULL, as done for lists.
x[i] <- value gave an error if i contained zeros, e.g. x[c(0, 2)] <- value and x[0] <- NULL, instead of ignoring them, as done for lists.
x[i] <- value gave an error if i contained negative indices, e.g. x[-1] <- value and x[-1] <- NULL, instead of assigning or removing all other elements, as done for lists.
x[i] did not handle missing values in i as done for lists. For numeric indices, e.g. x[c(1, NA)], it gave an obscure error, and for logical indices, e.g. x[NA] and x[c(TRUE, NA), ], it silently dropped such elements, instead of returning NULL for them. Similarly, x[i] <- value did not ignore missing indices when value is of length one, and did not give an error when it is longer.
Subsetting a list environment did not truncate fractional indices toward zero, as done for lists and arrays. For example, x[-1.5] returned all elements instead of behaving as x[-1], which drops the first element. Similarly, x[1.5, 2.9] behaved as x[1, 3] instead of x[1, 2].
parse_env_subset() on x[[i, j]] with dimensions did not give an error for zero indices, e.g. x[[1, 0]], but returned an empty target, although it gave an error for x[[0]].
parse_env_subset() on x[[i, j]] with named dimensions returned elements idx and exists with dimnames that should not be there.
parse_env_subset() on x[[i, j]] with more or fewer dimensions than subscripts would either give an obscure error or, silently, an incorrect index.
parse_env_subset() did not truncate fractional indices, as done for lists and arrays. For example, x[[1.5]] gave idx = 1.5 instead of 1, and x[[0.5]] gave an obscure error instead of an error on a zero index.
parse_env_subset() would treat x[i] as x["i"], and similarly for more dimensions, e.g. parse_env_subset(x[i, j]).
parse_env_subset() on x[names] gave an obscure error when length(names) > 1 and some names did not exist.
parse_env_subset() on x$name and x[["name"]] would report exists = TRUE even if name did not exist in x but in one of the parent environments.
parse_env_subset() treated a NULL subset as an empty one, e.g. x[NULL] and x[1, NULL] selected all elements instead of none. Also, x[[]], x[[NULL]], and x[[integer(0)]], and similarly for more dimensions, e.g. x[[1, ]], did not give an error, as done for lists and arrays.
parse_env_subset("1a", envir = x) gave an error on 'Not a valid variable name', although any name is a valid variable name, e.g. x <- listenv("1a" = 1).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("listenv", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("futureverse/listenv")

Development version from futureverse/listenv. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-listenv

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-listenv

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-listenv

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
