[Rd] interception of expression evaluation. What is the right way to proceed?
Hi all! I am a computer science lecturer at IST (www.tecnico.ulisboa.pt) andhave been developing a voluntary computing environment for R together with some students. The idea is to allow R users to share their CPU time in the community. Both for security of the volunteers (to create a sandbox) and for debugging support, we have extended the R interpreter with a small intervention in the eval function. My question is the following: - Is there any way to transparently intercept all expressions in the R runtime? and in a way we should not have touched the internals of the interpreter.. - If changing the interpreter is the way to go, what is the correct way to propose this change to the R community? ??? Thank you for all help, ??? Best regards, ??? ??? Jo?o Garcia
