R devel - Apr 2013 - trace with reference class

Hi

The final line of the example in ?setRefClass induces an error:
> ## debugging all objects from class mEdit in method $undo()
> mEdit$trace(undo, browser)
Error in envRefInferField(x, what, getClass(class(x)), selfEnv) :
  'undo' is not a valid field or method name for reference class
"refGeneratorSlot"

$trace tries to embed the trace in the generator object (instead of
the generated object).
Has this functionality been removed?

best,

kohske

No intended change.  The trace method was not updated when reference 
class generators became functions.  Should be fixed now in r-devel and 
3.0.0 patched (rev 62699).

Thanks for the catch.
