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).

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> Hi all, > > is there a more convenient way to debug R code than the built in > debug() > function?

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.
