Subject: Hang on incomplete input
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:41:50 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21A5E1E970CD46459ECBE86D6CC4B28C52E23B34@spexch01.WindLogics.local> (raw)

Apparently, org-mode Babel (or maybe Emacs, or ESS) will hang when given incomplete input, like the following:

#+begin_src R
ddply(x,
#+end_src

I was just tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my code was hanging, because of course it's much longer and I didn't notice the missing paren.

Is this replicable on other people's platforms too?  I'm using GNU Emacs on Windows, with org-mode 7.7 and ESS 5.14.

There are other situations where I really wish org-mode (or Emacs, or ESS) didn't freeze up while evaluating R code - for example if I accidentally did 'debug()' on a function that's now being called, or even just on long-running calculations.  Any chance evaluation could be done in a separate thread or something?

Thanks.
