nchar(with(list(2),ls())) gives an internal error. This is of course
a peculiar call (no names in the list), but the error is not caught
cleanly.
It is not clear from the documentation whether with(list(2)...) is
allowable; if it is not, it should presumably give an error. If it is, then
ls
shouldn't have problems with the resulting environment.
> qq <- with(list(2),ls()) # An incorrect call (no
names in list)
> nchar(qq)
Error in nchar(qq) : 'getEncChar' must be called on a CHARSXP # ls returned
a bad object
> qq
[1]Error: 'getEncChar' must be called on a CHARSXP
> qq[1]
[1]Error: 'getEncChar' must be called on a CHARSXP
> qq[2]
[1] NA
Apparently related:
> with(list(a=1,2),ls())
Error in ls() : 'getEncChar' must be called on a CHARSXP
