I think I am whistling in the wind, but is there a modern symbolic debugger for R programmes?
I am working through some one else's code, thousands of lines, that has the occasional bug in it, and a lot in my understanding of it.
I cannot make setBreakpoint or findLineNum work. I get "No source refs found.". I am starting to loose my mind!
A debugger where I could set breakpoints with a little more granularity than the function level and a little more accessible than the trace function. What I ideally want is GDB for R.
Does that exist?
There is quite some debugging fuctionality available in ESS for emacs (http://ess.r-project.org/) and I rmrmber a presentation at useR in 2011 that there is as well in eclipse, but there you have to used,. as far as I remember, a patched version of R. So I would suggest to look into ESS for a debugger.
Just found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2854820/statet-debugging-tool and http://www.walware.de/?page=/it/downloads/statet.mframe Cheers, Rainer
