I'm getting an error in RStudio that has already been described in other posts:

> Error: protect(): protection stack overflow

I want to try and change the max ppsize when starting RStudio from the command line, but I can't find any description on how to do this on macOS.

Using Terminal, I called open -a rstudio --max-ppsize=500000, which gave me:

open: unrecognized option `--max-ppsize=500000'

Thanks for any help.

  • You can run your R script with that option from the command line (e.g. `Rscript --vanilla --max-ppsize=500000 ml_pipeline_v6.12.R`) but I don't believe that's a setting you can specify in Rstudio. There are workarounds to pass arguments to Rscript via Rstudio (e.g. using `system()`, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14980322/is-it-possible-to-specify-command-line-parameters-to-r-script-in-rstudio) but I don't know if it will work to solve your problem. What are you running that is causing that error? – jared_mamrot Jul 20 '20 at 09:31
  • I don't have an R script, but an Rproject that I work on using RStudio. I'm using environments as hash tables that have up to 100.000 entries. It might just be a bug (see (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59414426/using-large-hash-tables-in-r) ), but I wanted to try out the `max ppsize` anyway. – marialagorda Jul 20 '20 at 10:06
