| It seems that something changed between R 4.2.3 and R 4.3 (tested with 4.3.2) that broke the Tcl socket server. Here is a reproducible example:
|
| - R process #1 (Tcl socket server):
|
| library(tcltk)
| cmd <- r"(
| proc accept {chan addr port} { ;# Make a proc to accept connections
| puts "$addr:$port says [gets $chan]" ;# Receive a string
| puts $chan goodbye ;# Send a string
| close $chan ;# Close the socket (automatically flushes)
| } ;#
| socket -server accept 12345 ;# Create a server socket)"
| .Tcl(cmd)
|
| - R process #2 (socket client):
|
| con <- socketConnection(host = "localhost", port = 12345, blocking = FALSE)
| writeLines("Hello, world!", con) # Should print something in R #1 stdout
| readLines(con) # Should receive "goodbye"
| close(con)
|
| When R process #1 is R 4.2.3, it works as expected (whatever version of R #2). When R process #1 is R 4.3.2, nothing is sent or received through the socket apparently, but no error is issued and process #2 seems to be able to connect to the socket.

| I am stuck with this. Thanks in advance for help.
