Hi Does anyone know of any automatic way of mapping out the dependencies of a function -- i.e. automatically listing which other functions that function calls? I tried using all.names or all.vars, but I can't get it to work on a function: e.g.
> test = function(x, y) return(sin(x + y)*cos(x + y)) > all.names(expression(test)) [1] "test" I guess the problem is that all.names is not being applied to the body of the function, whereas if I write the function definition out explicitly in the expression, I can readily get what I want: > tmp = all.names(expression(function(x, y) return(sin(x + y)*cos(x + y)))) > tmp [1] "function" "return" "*" "sin" "+" "x" [7] "y" "cos" "+" "x" "y" and further process this to get the functional dependencies > pos.fn = sapply(tmp,function(.x) if (exists(.x)) is.function(get(.x)) else FALSE) > tmp[pos.fn] [1] "function" "return" "*" "sin" "+" "cos" "+" However, this relies on writing out the function definition explicitly out in the expression which I cannot do as I wish to map the dependencies of large complex functions. Thanks for your help. David ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
