I keep getting an error message about "return" inside the debugger when I try to work with an object called reSt. Here is a transcript R> debug( createConLin ) R> createConLin( distance ~ age, Orthodont, ~ 1 | Subject ) debugging in: createConLin(distance ~ age, Orthodont, ~1 | Subject) debug: Call <- match.call() Browse[1]> debug: if (!inherits(fixed, "formula") || length(fixed) != 3) { stop("\nFixed-effects model must be a formula of the form \"resp ~ pred\"") } Browse[1]> debug: REML <- FALSE Browse[1]> debug: reSt <- reStruct(random, REML = REML, data = NULL) Browse[1]> debug: groups <- getGroupsFormula(reSt) Browse[1]> reSt Error: No function to return from, jumping to top level Browse[1]> class(reSt) [1] "reStruct" Browse[1]> print(reSt) Error: No function to return from, jumping to top level Browse[1]> print(get("reSt")) Error: No function to return from, jumping to top level Browse[1]> length(reSt) [1] 1 Browse[1]> formula(reSt) Error: No function to return from, jumping to top level Is there something magical about "re" inside the debugger in the same way that "c" means continue and "n" means next? -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
