ess-r-args-show doesnot work for R 2.14.2's rnorm function

[ShuguangSun]

I'm using R 2.14.2 under windows xp.
I found that the args can show for 'mean' but not for rnorm.

I checked that the output from ess--funargs-command:
For 'rnorm':

• + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Note: no visible global function definition for 'rnorm'
  Note: no visible global function definition for 'rnorm'
  [1] "stats" "n, mean=0, sd=1" "n=" "mean="
  [5] "sd="

For 'mean':

• + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + [1] "base" "x, trim=0, na.rm=FALSE, ..."
  [3] "x=" "...="
  [5] "trim=" "na.rm="

So I think the function ess-get-words-from-vector needs to be improved.

That's weird. I cannot reproduce on 2.14.2 nor in R-devel. How come that rnorm is not a visible function? It probably has something to do with your R settings. Do you have byte compiler on?

Also ess-r-args-show is not necessary anymore with the latest ESS, as eldoc is on by default. You can unbind it form "(".

Yes, I have byte compiler on.

I'm using the latest version of ESS from the svn trunk. Do you mean ess-eldoc-function? ess-r-args-show will be involved from ess-function-arguments in ess-eldoc-function.

I don't know how to unbind it from "(". :-(

The below message comes out because I used: enableJIT(3)
Note: no visible global function definition for 'rnorm'
Note: no visible global function definition for 'rnorm'

Maybe it looks more like an R' bug.

Yes, I've reported this issue last week, and Luke Tierney said he will
look into it. So it might have been solved already in the latest
R-devel.

I can implement an easy workaround (reset JIT locally), but prefer to
wait for the solution at R's side.

Great! Thanks.

Ok, I've been waiting for it to be solved in R-devel. As the most recent devel still has it, I've implemented a workaround. Competition should work smoothly with the JIT now.
