Where's code for binding values to formal arguments in functions?
Have you studied d the R-ints manual? It is a complex process, since in fact it is promises which are bound. The code for that is in match.c: matchArgs. In general, you will not find people willing to read the source code for you, and especially if you give no reason for your 'wants'.

Hello, Can anyone give me a pointer where to find the implementation code for binding values to formal arguments in functions? For example, if we have a function f <- function(x,y)... and f(1,2) is called, I want to find the code that binds 1 to x when evaluating f(1,2). I tried eval.c but it's too long and I was lost...
