Under v1.6.2, Windows NT4 OS, when a function contains an execution error
and I have placed browser() in inside the function body, the call to browser
is ignored. A brief example to illustrate:
> foo <- function(x) {
+ y <- x ^ 2
+ browser()
+ foo2(x) ## Intentional error
+ x ^ 3
+ }
>
> foo(30)
Called from: foo(30)
Browse[1]>
Error in foo(30) : couldn't find function "foo2"
## browser() still seems to be ignored even if a function has no execution
error
> traceback()
1: foo(30)
Has anyone else experienced this? I am using v1.6.2 on Windows NT 4.
Under Linux i686 (Mandrake 9.0), the same example works as expected;
execution is stopped and I can usefully browser() as it is designed.
As always, any advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Bill
