[R] Debugging R Code
Hi all, is there a more convenient way to debug R code than the built in debug() function? (so that one can set breakpoints, step in and out of function calls,...). I read the section on debugging compiled code in the manual Writing R Extensions (I only want to debug ordinary code but thought that maybe the advice there could help), but didn't find out how I can start debugging my code after typing R -d gdb, which brought me to the gdb prompt (I'm using R 1.6.2 in xemacs via ESS).

Re: [R] Debugging R Code
hello, the new library debug contains such possibilities and has a nice tcl/tk interface. Read the description of that library in the last volume of R-news (volume 3/3, december 03, p.29) hope this help, dlc Hi all, is there a more convenient way to debug R code than the built in debug() function?

Re: [R] Debugging R Code
Maybe try Mark Bravingtons's debug package? (see article in last R news) is there a more convenient way to debug R code than the built in debug() function?

Re: [R] Debugging R Code
If you plan using Mark Bravingtons's debug package within emacs via ess you should read this: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2004-February/001708.html were Mark suggested that in emacs you should set options( debug.command.recall=FALSE)' before running the debugger.
