Cstack_info Report Information on C Stack Size and Usage
Description
Report information on the C stack size and usage (if available).
Usage
Cstack_info()
Details
On most platforms, C stack information is recorded when R is initialized and used for stack-checking. If this information is unavailable, the size will be returned as NA, and stack-checking is not performed.
The information on the stack base address is thought to be accurate on Windows, Linux (using glibc), macOS and FreeBSD but a heuristic is used on other platforms. Because this might be slightly inaccurate, the current usage could be estimated as negative. (The heuristic is not used on embedded uses of R on platforms where the stack base information is not thought to be accurate.)
The ‘evaluation depth’ is the number of nested R expressions currently under evaluation: this has a limit controlled by options("expressions").
