How to generate dependency file that can be used by gnu make?
This may not easy to do, when the filename are not hard coded strings.
For example, the variable 'filename' is a vector of strings.
for (i in 1:length(filename)){
do something...
save(....,file=filename[i])
}

I don't think this function is same as gcc's option -MM. Because gcc checks pre-compile command #include, in which the filename can be fetched definitely. But in your scenario, the filename may be from some variables, which can not be determined by the R script only. Maybe you can write a tool by yourself to parse the R syntax to resolve your problem.

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.
