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). Thanks, Tobias __________________________________________ Tobias Sing Computational Biology Group Max-Planck-Institut f?r Informatik Stuhlsatzenhausweg 85 66123 Saarbr?cken, Germany Phone: +49 681 9325 314 Fax: +49 681 9325 399 E-mail: tsing at mpi-sb.mpg.de WWW: http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/units/ag3/
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

Maybe try Mark Bravingtons's debug package? (see article in last R news)

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.
