[Rd] Fwd: Bug report: cbind with numeric and raw gives incorrect result

[mikefc]

Hi there,

using cbind with a numeric and raw argument produces an incorrect result.

I've posted some details below,

kind regards,
Mike.



e.g.
> cbind(0, as.raw(0))
     [,1]          [,2]
[1,]    0 6.950136e-310



A longer example shows that the result is not a rounding error, is not
consistent, and repeated applications get different results.

> cbind(0, as.raw(1:10))
               [,1]           [,2]
 [1,]  0.000000e+00   0.000000e+00
 [2,]  0.000000e+00   0.000000e+00
 [3,]  0.000000e+00   0.000000e+00
 [4,]  0.000000e+00   0.000000e+00
 [5,]  0.000000e+00  6.950135e-310
 [6,] 4.243992e-314  6.950135e-310
 [7,] 8.487983e-314  6.324040e-322
 [8,] 1.273197e-313   0.000000e+00
 [9,] 1.697597e-313 -4.343725e-311
[10,] 2.121996e-313  1.812216e-308
