As I understand https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/sys.parent.html sys.function(n) returns the function associated with stack frame n. Since frame 0 is defined as .GlobalEnv which is not associated with a function, I would expect this to always return NULL. However, it does not: > sys.function() NULL > f <- function(x) sys.function(x) > f(0) function(x)

...he global envir. It is pretty clear from the underlying C code that the three functions treat their argument differently: R_sysframe has if (n == 0) return(R_GlobalEnv); if (n > 0) n = framedepth(cptr) - n; else n = -n; whereas the other two (R_syscall and R_sysfunction) omit the special treatment for n==0. Without this, n==0, comes out unchanged from the if-construct, indicating that one should go 0 frames up the stack (same as n==framedepth(cptr)). Obviously, it won't work to document the "which" argument identically for all three functions......

...has to grab the call, take the 1st element, and reevaluate it in the parent frame. It is quite easy to think up examples where a second evaluation does not give the same value as the first. Your particular case is of a slightly different natur and should be easily fixable by replacing findVar in R_sysfunction by findVar1 and looking specifically for objects of mode "function", but the basic problem persists. I don't think I want to risk fixing this (and maybe unfixing something else) for 1.2.3 tomorrow though. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- De...

In my own function: > gt <- globaltest(X,Y) > sampling(gt) works fine, but > sampling(globaltest(X,Y)) results in: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : "missing"
