The comments for the argument doGet on findVarInFrame3() say: The final argument is usually TRUE and indicates whether the lookup is being done in order to get the value (TRUE) or simply to check whether there is a value bound to the specified symbol in...

we need an exists/get hybrid
...and 'get' are often used in conjunction. Both functions are different usages of the do_get C function, so it's a pity to run that twice. "get" gives an error when a symbol is not found, so you can't just do a 'get'. With R's C library, one might do SEXP x = findVarInFrame3(symbol,env); if (x != R_UnboundValue) { // do stuff with x } It would be very convenient to have something like this at the R level. We don't want to do any tryCatch stuff or to add args to get (That would kill any speed advantage. The overhead for handling redundant args accounts for 30%...

What functions are called internally in R to resolve what variable is referred?
Hello All, If I refer to a variable 'x', 'x' will be searched in the current frame or the parent frame, or the parent of the parent frame, etc., until it is found (or not found at all)? Could you please show me what code in R source that handles this? Is it in the C code or the R code? Thanks, Tom
