[Rd] Bug in R evaluating a huge instruction (PR#14096)

[Romain Francois]

Hello,

Since we don't have the morris function, I have tested using this one:

 > morris <- function(...) lapply(list(...), str )

If I just copy and paste into the console, R waits for more input, but 
if I parse the file, it is fine:

 > eval( parse( "morrisError.R" ) )
  NULL
  chr [1:86] "PecheAmateurs décembre.proportionMetier" ...
  num 10
List of 3
  $ type     : chr "oat"
  $ levels   : num [1:86] 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 ...
  $ grid.jump: num [1:86] 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
  num [1:86] 0 0 0 11 10 12 0.06 10 11 0 ...
  num [1:86] 1 1 1 15 14 16 0.09 14 15 2 ...


Also fine if I source the file:

 > a<-morris(model=NULL,factors=c("PecheAmateurs 
décembre.proportionMetier","PechePetitMetierMer 
mai.proportionMetier","PecheAmateurs mai.proportionMet ..." ... [TRUNCATED]
  NULL
  chr [1:86] "PecheAmateurs décembre.proportionMetier" ...
  num 10
List of 3
  $ type     : chr "oat"
  $ levels   : num [1:86] 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 ...
  $ grid.jump: num [1:86] 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
  num [1:86] 0 0 0 11 10 12 0.06 10 11 0 ...
  num [1:86] 1 1 1 15 14 16 0.09 14 15 2 ...


I think the limit imposed by the R_ParseBuffer function (in gram.y) is 
1024 characters.
