[Rd] R_ParseVector problem: it's cutting off after the decimal point

[Roland Boubela]

Dear all,

my aim is to integrate R in an interactive visualisation software
called Bulk Analyzer developed by VrVis (http://www.vrvis.at).

the code:

SEXP e, tmp;
ParseStatus status;

PROTECT(tmp = mkString("x <- c(1.234,-3.45)"));
PrintValue(tmp);
PROTECT(e = R_ParseVector(tmp, -1, &status, R_NilValue));
PrintValue(e);
UNPROTECT(2);

produces the following output:

[1] "x <- c(1.234,-3.45)"

expression(x <- c(1, -3))


I'm using MS Visual C++. The code works fine in a small test project
with the same R startup settings (attached) as in the Bulk Analyzer
project.
Is there any setting or condition for this parser behaviour?

Kind regards,
Roland N. Boubela
