gcc has options like -MM, which can generate the dependence files for
a C/C++ file that I can be used by gnu make. I'm wondering if there is
a tool that can generate dependence file for an R script.
For example, I have an R script test.R
#########test.R
load('input.RData')
save.image('output.RData')
I want to generate a dependence file like the following. Is there a
tool to do so?
output.RData:test.R input.RData
Is there a way to automatically generate the output files that depends on an R script and the input files and sourced files that are depended by an R script? I don't see this option in R. But I wish this can be implemented in future version of R.
