| object.size {env} | R Documentation |
Provides an estimate of the memory that is being used to store
an R# object.
Exactly which parts of the memory allocation should be attributed
to which object is not clear-cut. This function merely provides
a rough indication: it should be reasonably accurate for atomic
vectors, but does not detect if elements of a list are shared, for
example. (Sharing amongst elements of a character vector is taken
into account, but not that between character vectors in a single
object.)
The calculation Is Of the size Of the Object, And excludes the
space needed To store its name In the symbol table.
Associated space(e.g., the environment of a function And what the
pointer in a EXTPTRSXP points to) Is Not included in the
calculation.
Object sizes are larger On 64-bit builds than 32-bit ones, but will
very likely be the same On different platforms With the same word
length And pointer size.
object.size(x);An object of class "object_size" with a length-one double value, an estimate of the memory allocation attributable to the object in bytes.
