Does anybody have some simple instructions to get me going using the GNU
debugger GDB under windows with R?
The R Extensions manual mentions briefly debugging under unix, but I've seen
seen GDB mention in the Bloodshed Dev C++ IDE so it should be possible to
use it with R?
Regards,

It's in the rw-FAQ! That describes this as `fraught' with good reason.

If anyone wants to volunteer to write this up, I think it would be worthwhile putting them in a web page for future reference. One tip: in recent versions of R (but hopefully not in 1.8.1), gdb always traps on a few memory allocation errors during startup. This is irritating but harmless, continuing from that point on will eventually get R to start. Duncan Murdoch
