Create Array Using fmalloc — create_fmalloc

Creates an fmalloc-backed ALTREP array in a single step by allocating vector storage and installing array dimensions (and optional dimnames).

Usage

create_fmalloc_array(
  type = "integer",
  dim,
  dimnames = NULL,
  runtime = NULL,
  zero_initialize = TRUE
)

Arguments

type: Character string specifying the vector type. Supported values are the same as for create_fmalloc_vector().
dim: Integer dimension vector.
dimnames: Optional dimnames for the array.
runtime: Optional runtime handle returned by open_fmalloc(). If not supplied, the default runtime established by init_fmalloc() is used.
zero_initialize: Logical scalar passed through to payload allocation. See create_fmalloc_vector() for semantics.

Value

An fmalloc-backed ALTREP array.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
rt <- open_fmalloc(tempfile(fileext = ".bin"))
a <- create_fmalloc_array("numeric", dim = c(2L, 3L), runtime = rt)
cleanup_fmalloc(rt)
} # }
